Make a Day of It:

Start with a proper breakfast at Wheldrakes, climb the city walls at Monk Bar and follow them for a fresh view of York. Continue towards the Minster and Treasurer’s House afterwards, ideally with a homemade cake secured for emergency sightseeing purposes.

​

The Tidy Take:

Wheldrakes is small, warm and proudly Yorkshire, with the sort of welcome that turns first-time visitors into regulars. The breakfasts are generous, the coffee has its own house blend and choosing only one thing from the cake counter requires unnecessary levels of discipline.
