York Shopping
You can shop until you drop and then some in York! You can walk into the city
centre or use the award winning park and ride services, (driving into the city
is not recommended as it is basically a pedestrian district and parking is
hard to come by). Then, shop at places not usually found in a modern English
city or you can drive out to one of the nearby shopping parks. There are shuttle
buses to the out of town shopping centres available from town.
