October 17th: Drive to York from Cardiff About a 5hr drive saw us arrive at the centrally located Novotel Hotel. After checking in we spent the rest of the day exploring York before enjoying dinner and returning to our hotel having looked at: Clifford's Tower from the outside, The Shambles, Petergate and the home of Guy Fawkes. I was born in York many years ago so this was a trip to explore my birthplace. Normally we'd stay with my brother over in Wetwang but on this occasion it wasn't possible. The Novotel Hotel was comfortable with a good breakfast and just a short walk into the city centre. October 18th: At leisure in York We explored Clifford's Tower which was a main feature of York Castle and walked the entire length of the city walls which I'd never done before. Along the way we used our National Trust memberships to visit the Treasurer's House, explored The Shambles once more, and walked through the site of the old Roman Fort on our way back to the hotel. October 19th: A day to visit my brother and his family over in Wetwang as, due to Covid-19, we'd not seen them for quite a time. October 20th: At leisure in York Our objectives today were to visit the National Railway Museum and York Minster and we reached the museum in a heavy rain shower which led to flooding on our way back into the city centre afterwards. York Minster was equally enjoyable after lunch. October 21st: Drive home to Cardiff
