Day 5: York


Gas shortages throughout London made us a little nervous as we made our trek from Suffolk to York, but we filled up when we hit 1/2 a tank and are hoping for the best for the rest of the trip.

We got to York around noon, checked into our B&B, and cruised through the busy downtown streets. York is a beautiful town with plenty of shops filling the historic buildings. We went on a guided walk around the town and over the city walls to get a bit of York's history, but approaching hour 2 decided to bail out a little early. Originally we had discussed spending 2 days here, but not wanting to spend 2 days of museums and abbeys we think an afternoon is really enough. We are mapping out our journey now for the Lake District.

Bed and Breakfast: Abbingdon
Meals: Sainsbury, small side street restaurant

Did you guys book all your B&B before hand? Sounds like you have this trip planned to the minute. ;)
Could you elaborate on what you did to plan the trip?

Do some serious hiking in the Lake District. It is worth the views. That is probably one of my favorite areas of England.
