Junior archeologists at work

We ended the day by spending a few hours at DIG.. An archeologist intro museum. 

The York Experience

So delighted to rediscover gems of the UK. Forgotten how wonderful York is and how cool the walls are! The Castle walls silly....

We may walk the entire wall this afternoon- its a mere 5 km wander.. You even get a certificate.. Ba ha ha.. We walked some of the wall - its incredible to think they have survived all the turmoil and battles.

York Minster is as stately and beautiful as always.

We've been lucky with the weather too.. Dodging the rain as it comes.

We had to take a walk down the shambles.. I can only imagine how dire and scary it was in its hey day..

Sherwood Forest

After a bit of a frustrating time trying to actually FIND Sherwood forest- and yes we followed those darn brown signs for miles- we finally came across the Major Oak and the info centre. So glad we persevered. The kids were so excited! 

The interactive display was excellent. The last tome Zi was here, it was really just a hut and a walk to the tree. They have made cafes and restaurants, displays and playgrounds. I even saw signs for a medieval fayre in August.
