約克在倫敦以北兩小時火車的地方，去愛丁堡順路捎上的。 約克是個古老的“小縣城”，下了火車，一切都能走到。 古老的城牆，門樓，街道。 那裏最出名的是York Minster，俺覺得是在Westminster之後印象最深一座教堂，因為裏麵也是布滿墳墓吧？還有一個世界上數一數二的火車博物館。

Narrow ancient streets full of lovely little shops
Clifford Tower - "The site of Clifford's Tower, the keep of York's medieval castle, still bears witness to the most horrifying event in the history of English Jewry. On the night of 16 March 1190, the feast of Shabbat ha-Gadol, the small Jewish community of York was gathered together for protection inside the tower. Rather than perish at the hands of the violent mob that awaited them outside, many of the Jews took their own lives; others died in the flames they had lit, and those who finally surrendered were massacred and murdered."
inside the tower, not sure what the father and the son were discussing endlessly in front of the display:
What a nice English town
