Jorvik and Clifford Tower

On Monday we packed for the trip home.  After breakfast we booked out and left our bags at the hotel so that we could spend the morning enjoying a last look round York.  First stop was the Jorvik Viking Centre and we just walked in, no queue,  just an hour later and we wouldn't have been so lucky.

We then went to find the rather modern flood gate on the River Foss...

and  to see the works going on at the lock...


We then crossed the road to visit and climb the walls of Clifford Tower.

Sightseeing over we made our way back to the hotel for a drink and to book a taxi to the station for the trip back to Carlisle via Newcastle.
