Another quiet evening, not particularly by choice. We walked up to The Swan<\/a> about 6pm hoping for a pint and large wine for Pam. The place was packed, we literally couldn\u2019t get in the front door without having to push through a crowd. Apparently there was a meeting at York Racecourse today and the Swan\u2019s a drink stop on the way back into town. We thought better of it, so sadly we settled for takeaway fish-n-chips and a drink in the Hymer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We wake to another very English morning cool, broken cloud and windy. The National Rail Museum is the plan for today. Tossed up between driving up and paying the \u00a310 parking fee or catching a cab, looked at Google maps once again, it\u2019s about 3 kms so I should be able to walk it if I take my time. So we breakfast and get ourselves going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whilst not quite the most direct route the city walls are the easiest and most scenic way to walk York. We climb the steps at Baile Hill and follow the wall to York Railway Station. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So here we are. The National Rail Museum is the biggest in the world and amazingly its free to visit. If you like a steam train and who doesn\u2019t, this is the place to be.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
