Car Rental York - Exploring York
Within a day’s drive of York are some of the UK’s biggest attractions. The Yorkshire dales are lovely and rural and offer a charming peak into country life in the North.
Castle Howard is one of the loveliest in the UK and was famously used as a set for the filming of Brideshead Revisited. This 300-year old castle has palatial interiors, acres of manicured gardens, and fantastic vistas, set among the rolling Howardian hills. It’s popular with visitors and shows how the English upper crust live.
Not far north, you can seek out the remains of Hadrian’s Wall. It’s not quite as impressive as the one in China but runs most the length of Northern England and has survived from the Roman times when they tried to kept the Picts at bay.
The Lake districts inspired Wordsworth with its pretty lakes, green hills and pleasant walking, and attracts 10 million visitors a year! Windermere has the best tourist facilities, but the area is covered in lovely B&Bs and the walking during summer months is superb.
It’s worth driving a little extra to visit Edinburgh, Scotland’s most impressive city. It includes the dramatically-located 1200-year old Castle, the famous Royal Mile, Baroque-styled Holyrood Palace, Old Town (Cowsgate), several good museums and typical Scottish character.
