    Stunning Minster! Other lovely architecture as well along with the quaint streets. It was a great idea to stop the driving on them in 74. Loved "Downtown!" 🕺💃🎶🎵🎵 Looked like Diagon Alley to me. Easier than saying "Neither on thing or another street" too! Lovely asmr walking tour though the medieval section of York. I found it interesting to see a Constantine Bronze there near to the Prime Minster House. 🤣🤣 Damn Yanks! Can't take us anywhere. But we loved coming along anyway!

    To be honest I normally never watch any walking tour videos, as I find them very boring but the views some of them videos get are amazing, so obviously a hell of a lot of people do like seeing them. On the boring topic, I did a York video last year but with me interacting all the time, which did terrible for views, so that tells it's own story lol! Must admit I absolutely love York and no matter how many times we go in a year I always cannot wait to go back again, it has a magic that is hard to explain but I get get sick of visiting and better still, stopping over there. 'Down Town' was better sang by Petula Clark but fair play, he can sing and I cannot. I remember having an amazing afternoon tea in Browns with Mrs Metalman about 10 years ago, one of the best we have ever had but an unfortunate reminded, as she now was to have a gluten free diet for the rest of her life - so no more afternoon teas for us. Never seen York looking so quiet, even in the winter time when we have been there always a buzz, so I hope it is not a further indicator of your previous video down there. I always wondered about the massive long Q was in the Shambles, which is there every time we go, never knew about the Ghost Merchants shop and I am sure the guy singing sea shanties with his dancing puppet was at the Steam Punk Festival in Whitby last month. Mrs Metalman always enjoys a good rummage about in all the charity shops in Goodramgate, while I stand outside looking shifty.....Nice to see York again, cheers Alan

    • @GENerationXplorers
      @GENerationXplorers  Před 5 měsíci +1

      thank you so much Alan 🙏 yes they are an acquired taste these walking tours. I find them quite relaxing. we filmed this on our way out to the Travelodge at Grimwith. whilst it took less than an hour and a half to film I really enjoyed researching all the history about the place names and buildings. Even though I worked in York for eight years after doing all the post filming edit research on this I finally feel I know the place. you DID catch that talented guy with the puppet on your steampunk video. he deserves a video himself! that guy singing outside Bettys is a professional Opera singer but that has to be the very worst rendition of down town I’ve ever heard. I’m glad I caught it on record, he must be fuming! Bettys is wonderful, they do the very best macaroons on the planet, make great presents. loved your ghost tour of York and your grisly telling of stories that surround historic buildings ive never seen done better anywhere, it’s a great addition to your wonderful repertoire! have an amazing weekend! its satirical commentary and investigative journalism filling out the next few weeks.. its been months in the planning. could be a right cop out, we shall see! 🤞🤞

    So glad to watch your York walking tour. What a glorious day you managed to film too, loved the opening shots of the Minster, it's so pretty. At least you visited when it was less busy so we can actually see the old streets, loved the street names and all the information you carefully shared with us, it's such a vibe and it's 100% on the list. It's so cool seeing the historical buildings here that make York so important. The shambles market certainly looks the place to be, especially for some gyros! mmm. Love the ' shop that must not be named ' hehe. Ooo the golden fleece looks a visit! You've honestly given us so much to think of visiting and you've done it whilst enjoying the natural sounds of a walk! Thank you Nick and Jill, really great video! xx

The monster is something else! Oh yes, I'd forgotten about the fire! Love the history of Stonegate street! We didn't know that about Guy Fawkes either!! (Definitely watching this with a pen and paper again before we visit York!). I was gonna say that busker was great, then he got to Down Town!!! 😂. Wrong key my love! Wills is getting a bit excited by the Christmas lights! Ok, now you've mentioned a Christmas market!! Whip ma whop ma is a new word, love it!! Added it to vocab and we def need to visit the Golden Fleece. The Shambles is such a pretty area. Don't know I spent 3 weeks in York in 97 performing at the Grand - I don't remember any of York apart from The Shambles! Great video - we did miss you guys though! Cheers 🍻

    Hi Nick and Jill
    The rich heritage of York flatters my eyes, especially detailed historic architecture, 20:15 made me ponder that the United State is relatively young country. Is that some sort of restoration on the Left? 21:06
    Your time-consuming research truly proves it. First I was puzzled with this street performer 14: 48 ...he is not real, but just in a movie...then realise that I am watching an enchanting city wow.....Harry Potter...hahahah..Universal Studio here in the US won't be able to mimic it...
    York is quite a large city, I may get lost, hahaha
    Well done Nick. Your voice was echoing in my head even if this is No Talk, just walk. hahah

There is no way I’d queue for 3 1/2 hours to get into a shop .. nope not even a bakery … though did for a short while to experience the famous Betty’s 😂The buskers add ti the atmosphere… well some of them 😂🤣 maybe he’s saving up for singing lessons haha Thanks for all the little snipets of history … didn’t know that about Guy Fawkes or when I think about it didn’t know about any of the other stuff either 😀 A friend showed me some pics they’d taken in some of the , would you believe deserted streets at night, definitely looked on the spooky side & not somewhere I’d be venturing.

    What a beautiful place! I would love to visit York someday. Amazing its once of the oldest cities in the united kingdom. I love the architecture here, so much detail and so impressive. St Sampson church being from 1154 blows me away, and it still looks so good. I love the "park your broom" at the Shambles, it feels like Diagon alley in Harry Potter, ouuu the potions cauldron too! So cool about the Patrick pool and the roman baths. Your footage from the go pro 12 is amazing!! I need to upgrade. Awesome tour as always! :)

    I loved this walking tour of York. I just loved it when we visited but didn’t have Anouilh time to see it all. Maybe we could go back soon.
    Wow 1154 for that church 😮
    The market looks amazing, a sinister witch lurking on the corner with her broomstick. 😂

    Hello Nick and Jill, we love York, the Minster looks so magnificent. Be great to do a ghost tour only ever been on one in Derby many years ago. Love the quaint shops and to imagine that the stone to build the Minster was hauled up the street. Oh didnt realise guy fawkes was born in this street. The shambles market looks great. OOOh the haunted Inn. Nice to hear the busker. Really enjoyed your walking tour, very informative. Tony went up onto the wall but we didnt walk along it as dogs aren't allowed. have a great weekend x Julie and Tony x

    I've not been to York for many a year and it looks lovely. It didn't seem very busy either so I'm guessing it's mid week. I didn't know Guy Fawkes was born in York. You learn something new everyday. Quite a few street buskers/performing artists of differing genres. I thought I heard some opera in the background at one point. Super relaxing tour of York and even the gulls aka shi!te hawks added to the ambience from time to time 👍

    • @GENerationXplorers
      @GENerationXplorers  Před 5 měsíci

      Good spot Paul, yes the guy killing “down town” is a professional opera singer. The crowds had managed to get him to try and sing a commercial song and he absolutely killed it. I bet he is glad I was there to record it for posterity 😂 york is usually rammed. This was a Friday in February but we got extremely lucky. Id put it in the top ten least friendly hermit places in the UK 24/7/365!

      Hi Emily or cool that sounds great was it just for you or are you thinking of posting it? We would love to see that! We worked in York for a few years but are still learning new things! we learnt a lot from just doing the research for this video! we thought the huge queue outside that shop was for ghost tours not personalised hand crafted ghosts 🤣 Hope you guys have a lovely weekend and the weather allows you to get out and about 👍❤️

    • @novicehiker
      @novicehiker Před 5 měsíci +1

      I'm involved with a charity that does those tours around York during LGBT History Month (February) so I was there for that as I was doing a talk in the library in the morning then the walk. We didn't record it but I was thinking we should as it is always really popular when we run it (and free!). I will speak to my friend about that and definitely share if we do record it. What a miserable weekend it is, we are about to go out for a walk now and we are planning a bit more of a hike tomorrow but the weather is definitely not very inviting. I hope you both manage to get out and about too. Definitely one of those days where hibernating is quite appealing...😂

      thank you Mike, York is home to three Costa Coffee shops too so it is CCC friendly! with the exception of the steampunks the other week we’ve “cleverly” been off camera now for over two months whilst we recharge our batteries! it was by design as usually after Christmas we are completely wiped out! we are fully charged and very well researched for the next part of our journey. Nothing filmed as yet but we are planning a big return! Raising a cup of coffee and a slice of tiffin in your honour 👍

      @atrampinthehills.841 was very impressed with the place. Not what I was expecting at all. It will be part of the boarded up series but the art gallery and museums being free, the architecture, cost just £2 to park all day in the city centre and one of the shopping centres only had three closed units, it was buzzing. Plus there is a cinema there where every seat is £4.99 for every film, every show! Cant wait to go back!

    I'm just itching to get back to York for a proper visit... and to tour the Minster! Hopefully this summer!
    But I'll avoid the shop with the 3 hour queue!😮

    • @GENerationXplorers
      @GENerationXplorers  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Thankyou Dara 🙏 I find something relaxing about walking tours, if it’s a place I’ve been and I’m fond of I usually put them on with the intention of having it on in the background and then get caught up waiting to see if shops or places I like get visited! Thankyou re. the history, it’s actually something I’m doing to help myself as much as anyone else. I’m finding it really interesting learning facts about places I never knew before. I’ve tackled the last three walking videos like this and whilst they take a lot longer to put together ive now a much better understanding and love of these places. The Minster is stunning and you can pay extra to visit the roof, it isn’t cheap but what an amazing view over York from up there. Ive always wanted to visit during Carol Service in early December, it gets sold out very quickly though! That ghost shop is a real success story, apparently each ghost is hand crafted and unique to each visitor and brings good luck? This was the quietest I’ve ever seen York usually on any given time of day or day of the year you will be crammed in those city walls like sardines!
