I heard that the Railway Museum in York is good, if you're into that sort of thing.

I loved York dungeons but it was 10+ years ago so it may have drastically changed. Oh and i was a kid at the time so easily impressed LOL

Hope you have a fun trip

I believe there's a Grand Old Duke and he likes to march 10 thousand men up and down hills...hardy har har :)

It's probably too late now but there's a lovely restaurant near the cathedral called something like cafe cadenza or something, but if you go inside there's musical instruments all over the walls and the back room's wallpapered in sheet music. The food's great and the ambience is pretty damn cool.

The Viking Museum! I loved it, but then, all the mannequins looked like my great-uncles. Don't miss the cathedral, or the Shambles, and walk the wall. We went on a ghost tour which was pretty fun if you like that kind of thing. happy anniversary!

I'm a regular visitor to York, as it's only down the road from me, so I can highly recommend the Cold War Nuclear Bunker - http://tinyurl.com/399wsm

I read your post earlier today and then saw this article on the front page of CNN! http://tinyurl.com/yofles

Have a great time!

Jorvik Viking Center, and um....ARC...Archeological R-something Center. Jorvik had this great ride through a recreation of a viking settlement, with sound effects (including farting noises - I was 8, it was brilliant) and narration.

There was a lovely toy shop called Angels, lots of "novelties". I'd say go to the Fudge Kitchen, but there's one of the on the Royal Mile now, so it's not such a rarity. I used to make a bee-line for the Fudge Kitchen in York, I think I could locate it by smell.

3 years, 3 years!!!! God, I feel old. Congratulations.

I've been planning to go to York since I got here (about 8 years ago) but it always seems to be more hassle and expense than hopping in a plane and heading off to Europe although Sue sounds enthusiastic and I enjoyed a day trip to Canterbury a couple of years ago.

Have fun!

Get yourself to Betty's for an afternoon tea, highly recommended.

Awww, congrats on 3 years beautiful girl - go the rug!

I hope you had fun in York! I lived there for three years and it is one of my favourite places in the whole world (and still only half an hour away, so I visit now and then). The minster's pretty special indeed.

3 years! Gosh, it seems like just yesterday that I was reading about you getting married! My how time flies!!

Thanks Rebecca - I'm going to have the Grand old Duke of York song in my head all day now!

hahahaha

Hope you have a fun anniversary trip!

No doubt way too late, but somewhere near the Minster--don't ask me where, those narrow little streets threw me every time I was there--there's a little church tucked back off the street that's actually very nice. I mean, literally in the shadow of the minster, and also figuratively, but nice, especially for a change of pace while also staying within the whole "church" genre.
Also, as a Classicist, I'm officially required to point out that the Roman stuff under the minster is pretty cool, and there's some fun Roman stuff in the museum over near the Ouse.

It's totally too late, but I have to vote for the Jorvik viking centre too! I got a pencil sharpener from there and I remember something about fossilised poo - so what could be better than those two things? NOTHING!

Someone told me there's a pub called the Kings Arms in York that gets flooded so often that you have to wear wellies inside it. However, I'm not sure if this will be a great attraction for you what with living up here in Scotland, and all the pi$$ing rain we're having at the moment!
