One small but significant correction - JK Rowling has made it clear that it wasn't the inspiration even though she regularly went between London and Edinburgh and would have been familiar with it. It was, however, one of the sources of inspiration for the movie version :) Some of the Harry Potter shops sometimes like to misrepresent events (like other York touristy places like the Guy Fawkes Inn which wasn't where he was born, Richard III museum that likes to present a slightly skewed version of his life and various others) in ways that conveniently happen to suit their business 😇 Overall there were a few notable omissions and minor points (and York Minster is worth the price because it has Saxon and Roman stuff beneath it and a great view) but for 24 hours it's really hard to do the city justice so you did a decent job of representing what it's like imho!

@@cjexplores happy to help, and definitely I usually say the Minster, Yorkshire Museum and Castle Museum are the three "must see" (along with tourist favourites Jorvik and York Dungeons, and the walls and shambles) so you definitely need to come back ;) Lots of good guides in York who will happily give you planning advice and fun facts (for free), too! 😊 But don't let us talk about food and drink because we have tons of national award winning breweries, gin makers, coffee creators, fine dining, street food, fish and chips, and all sorts of others, and local tour guides will cry at some of the prices in this vid haha. Keep up the good work 😊

I live only about 40 miles from York, so it was a favourite destination for organised 'pub crawls'. I still remember the last one I went on: I worked in IT at the time, and was on call: in the days before mobile phones, that meant I had to carry a pager! It was near to the end of the evening, and various of our 'companions' (read: 'fellow pissheads'!) had been trying to run up the mound of Cliffords Tower. I reckoned I could do it, simply be leaning forward and walking (doggedly!) up there. I succeeded, but then thought it would be a good idea to slide all the way down again , (on my backside obviously: I hadn't brought my skis!!) which I did. Unfortunately on the way down, I lost my pager, but didn't realise I had until I was back home. I received one hell of a bollocking when I got back to work.

The mound ( motte ) the castle is sat on is not Roman, it’s Norman, built in the 11th century by William the conqueror. There is another one facing it across the river the same size that the defenders ( Normans ) would stretch a chain across, to stop any would be raiders from sailing up the river and into the centre of York to attack it.

York was the only place in the UK that William I built two castles outside of London, because York was the most rebellious. York kept burning them down so William committed genocide across the North (the harrying) which is a big part of the North South divide. Way too simplistic to be accurate but it's a very brief intro to a fascinating part of English, UK and York history :)

It was good to see York again. I was a student here in the 1960s! To be truthful, though, I nearly stopped watching because of the soundtrack. I lost count of the number of times a caption on screen was accompanied by a sequence of sound effects (pops and so on) which were absolutely unnecessary and totally infuriating. They added nothing to the visual story you were telling except irritation.
