York has a lot to offer travellers of every one of ages and inclinations - from historians to party-goers and shoppers to ramblers. Although some of the walls and gates of extraordinary York were destroyed in the early nineteenth century, there are still a vast number of Roman remains in the urban place today, including a ten-sided tower and a short sections of the original walls. There is no shortage of ancient homes either and a stroll through quaint boulevards like The Shambles will take you on a journey through time. Castle Howard is posted 15 miles north east of York, just off the A64. The magnificent house has a charming 18th century Walled Garden and 1,000 acres of gardens offering breathtaking views towards the North York Moors and Yorkshire Wolds. Free guided outdoor tours take hole daily between March and October revealing the secrets of the gardens and the architecture. Castle Howard also suggests six unique shops - an award-winning farm shop, chocolate shop, plant centre, a bookshop and two gift shops - as well as a restaurant and cafe. A trip to Yorkshire wouldn't be complete without a go to see to Fountains Abbey & Studley Royal Water Garden. Explore the prodigious ruins of the largest complete Cistercian abbeys in Britain and learn for yourself the life of a gothic monk. Wander from the dramatic Abbey into the Georgian diversion grounds of Studley Royal's ornamental gardens, woodland and deer park. Stroll nearby reflections of temples in elegant formal canals and lakes and locate the follies high on the valley side. Look out for Anne Boleyn's seat, the Octagon Tower and the Temples of Fame and Piety. A loaded programme of family activities and events is available through the year, including storytelling, guided tours, open air theatre and desire adorn parades. There is also a play area, workshops, tea-room and gift shop. Fancy free parking, late night shopping and a humongous selection of famous High Street stores?
