Back across the River Ouse, follow Dick Turpin’s journey to York Gaol. Part of Castle Museum, it features remarkable historical street scenes. Across the square, see the great views from Clifford’s Tower. A street away, the Jorvik Centre presents the sights, sounds and smells of Viking York. York Dungeon tells of the black death and violent history. The National Rail Museum houses 100+ locomotives. It’s a terrific ‘free entry’ day out.

You can enjoy the cinema, theatre, riverside pub-restaurants, one of the festivals and cultural events or take in the wonderful night-time views. There’s a late bus to bring you back to the campsite. York Caravan Park is central for day-trips across Yorkshire. Castle Howard is just 12 miles and you can reach the North Yorkshire Moors and Scarborough in just over an hour. |
