York’s a fantastic city. There’s a famous cathedral –
York Minister –it’s 600 years old! And there’s a big
university. There are some beautiful old streets in the
city centre… and there are a lot of nice cafés and
restaurants.

Jaybee - Re: Places to visit in York
Thanks!! Is there a good hotel in York? Somewhere in
the city centre, not expensive, please!!
Mike -Re:Places to visit in York
Yes. There’s a hotel in Mount Street: its name is the
King’s Hotel. It’s very friendly and it isn’t expensive.
Jaybee -Re: Places to visit in York
Thanks. Are there any good restaurants near the hotel?
Mike -Re: Places to visit in York
My favourite Indian restaurant in York is Akash. It’s
near the King´s Hotel and the food is very good.
Timbo -Re: Places to visit in York
A nice town near York is Market Weighton. Go by bus
or taxi –there isn’t a train station. There aren’t any big
shops, but there are some fantastic cafés!

I live in Bath, a city in England. It’s a very beautiful place. There are a lot of old buildings in
the centre and there are some nice parks. Bath is famous for its hot springs, and you can swim
in the hot water at the Thermae Bath Spa. I go there every Sunday, it’s great! In the centre of
Bath there are five theatres and some very good museums, including the Roman Baths and
the Jane Austen centre, about the famous English writer. There are also a lot of good
restaurants and hotels, and there’s a big new shopping centre called South Gate. There are
trains to London every half an hour, and there’s an airport
in Bristol, only 15 miles away. I think Bath is a great place
to live.
