The original Diagon Alley - Butcher's Street, why is Butcher's Street worth coming to?
The Shambles is not only the "original setting" for Diagon Alley in the Harry Potter film, but also one of the best preserved medieval joints in the UK, dating back to the 14th century, when the whole street was mainly sold meat, shops would hang meat under the eaves, and you can still see the eaves full of hooks.

In the distant Middle Ages, this street sold meat (as the name suggests...). In order to prevent excessive sunlight from spoiling the meat, this street was built very narrow, but in modern times, it has begun to sell feelings and literature ~

In this street, there are florists, coffee shops, bookstores, jewelry shops and so on, the whole street is crowded. By the way, didn't we say Butcher's Street was the prototype for Diagon Alley? Then it is predictable that there will be a Harry Potter memorabilia shop on Butcher Street!

You will find that the house of the butcher Street is a little wobbling, because the shopkeeper at that time in order to avoid the meat being directly damaged by the sun, so the house was built, the special appearance of the third floor is more prominent than the second floor, and the second floor is more prominent than the first floor, so as to block the sun. The floor is also layered, because the previous store in the handling of animals, the viscera will be thrown on the ground everywhere, the blood of the animal is also allowed to flow to the ground, to the low place, not to dirty the customer's shoes.

When you're near Butcher Street, keep an eye out for your surroundings, and you might see a picture of an elf on the wall

York Church covers a very large area, you can look at the model of the church, roughly understand its structure

At the top of the model, the chapter house, which turns out by itself, has a very beautiful dome

If you have seen enough of the interior of the church, then tower trip is just what you need. Inside the church, near the underground exhibition gallery, there is a ticket counter where those who have not bought tickets in advance for a tour of the tower can buy tickets for £6

Large unknown river

Tourism, relax the mood is very important, we can not chase scenic spots around, play tired to find a place to rest

Straight up the road from York station, where the station meets the city centre, you come across a bridge over a nice, quiet, nameless river, with restaurants and pubs on one side, parks and banks on the other, and occasional pleasure boats. There are steps at either end of the bridge that lead down to the river, where you can eat, drink or hang out.

Old wall of York

Still on the way to the city centre, just a few steps outside the station, before reaching the river, look to the right and you'll see the old city walls of York.
The old city wall of York is the most intact and longest in the whole of England. The wall was first built during the Roman period and was later reinforced by occupiers from Denmark, and much of what remains was rebuilt between the 12th and 14th centuries.
There are very few people on the wall, and there are few places to sit and rest, so if you want to relax by yourself or eat after a meal, this is definitely a good place to go.

Clifford tower

This small castle on a separate hill is one of the few remaining remnants of York's many castles, reached by a spiral ladder to the top of the tower. It may look ordinary, but it's really nothing special, you know
This hill is quite smooth, and if you don't want to go to the castle and just want to climb it for fun, you might actually have to climb it...
But if you buy a ticket and want to get in, you can just take the stairs
