We were very lucky that many of the sites we visited were well set up for school visits with special packs to help the children learn more about their surroundings.
Here are some examples of the activities we got up to. Click the pictures to enlarge them.
This is a map that shows the centre of York. We did an awful lot of walking. Only our suitcases got a taxi. We were on foot the whole time – apart from our boat trip up and down the River Ouse.

Our Youth Hostel is off the map, somewhere to the left of grid ref A2. We did York Museum (C3), York Minster (D2), The Chocolate Story (E3), The York Boat (C3), Clifford’s Tower (E5) and the Wall Walk (D6 to B5). Quite an impressive distance covered. If the children came home a little weary, that might have had something to do with it!
