Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in Allerthorpe Woods

"Seeing this amazing structure from the street is brilliant and free. It sits perfectly on top of its hill overlooking the city. It is almost all that remains of York Castle built by William the Conqueror and today is looked after by English Heritage"

"Offering a fascinating look into the everyday life of the English over the ages is the superb York Castle Museum. Built on the same site where the original York Castle once stood, the museum is in the south of the city center and has countless artifacts and exhibits to explore. While the museum was founded in 1938, its colossal collection is housed in various buildings that used to serve as a prison."

"One of the best York photography spots is the Victorian street recreated in the York Castle Museum. Head there towards the end of the day, maybe 30-40 minutes before the closing time, so you can get the street empty and take some stunning photos there. York Castle Museum is one of my favourite Instagrammable spots in York."

"Pavement Vaults is yet another one of the best places to eat and drink in York as it serves a hearty selection of both yummy food and alcoholic beverages and is a great place to enjoy a more intimate drink with friends, family or your partner. There’s a small downstairs area with comfortable booths that’s great if you want to be a little more removed from the hustle and bustle of the bar upstairs. 2 Piccadilly, York YO1 9NU"

"23/05/2021: I came here with my mum for our first meal out post lockdown and it was fantastic. Good quality food cooked perfectly, we had steak and seafood. Service was perfect."

"It is a pleasant Sunday afternoon at Quirky Ales and Monkey is starting his afternoon off with a Hip Hop. Is that wise Monkey?"

"The River Ouse is an idyllic place to snap some Insta shots. During the summer months, the riverside is absolutely bustling with tourists and locals enjoying the boat races, devouring ice creams or reading their books. There are many benches situated along the river as well as a number of bridges connecting different sides of the city that provide stunning views of the river."

"Upper River Restaurant has a takeaway option and a delivery service. People who have moved to the UK from Hong Kong have praised the authenticity of the dishes and said that the food reminds them of the flavours from their home country. Customers also say that the portions are generous and that the food is prepared using fresh ingredients."

"How about switch things up and order some Chinese fast food, instead of a regular meal?. Upper Restaurant serves traditional and authentic Chinese cuisine that’s made with fresh ingredients, which is served onto your plate. The chefs here make sure the visual of the dish is a treat for your eyes, taste buds, and the stomach."

"Jimmy’s is a new bar and restaurant that has opened on Petergate, in York. They have two floors each with dining areas and bars, as well as an outdoor covered and heated courtyard. They serve breakfast and brunch from 10am until 3pm and then a ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll BBQ’ in the evening."
