    Love York, such a beautiful place. We were there a few weeks ago, but didn't get chance to visit the market. The walls are excellent in themselves, but the market didn't look inspriring to say 5th in the world. Enjoy the mulled wines and have a totally amazing Christmas 🎄🎅🏻

      Hey guys 👋 or should we say ‘Bonjour’ 🤭 yeah I remember you said you were visiting your son in York, shame you didn’t get to the market but I’m sure you have come across a few on your travel! Travel safe guys and you two have an amazing Christmas too. Joyeux Noel 🎄

    Watched this on big tv when got back.Really loved this as york is one places i always wanted to go there"my sister lived there for awhile,and work got in the way of visiting her".And again park out ,walk in best way to be,and its free 😁.Loved the fact you named everything,as i love the info and for people like me,who have never been its so helpful.My sons taking his gf to winter wonderland in london"told him buy a packed lunch in a supermarket,as mega expensive there 😁".I went to plymouth market and it was not as good as york's,think exeter has a wicked one.And keep being you,i love your honesty about the market,and from what i have seen ,i will visit lovely york one day.Love the tea mini shout and i think mine too 🍷gin gin 😁.Me and my husband always like coming back,on a friday night and put your lovely videos on,makes me and my husband smile.hope my bunnies 👯have a wicked weekend debs xx 💎💎 👯 🛶 🚵🤗.

      Debs of course it was you, although i think your rubbing off on us. sat here with a gin now, what have you done to us? xx 😱 there are some lovely xmas markets out there, Yorks placement as 5th in the world is utter bonkers maths algorithm gone completely wrong. Yet York? i love the place, possibly the safest and most historic City, certainly in England and only goes up against the stunning Edinburgh almost toe to toe in the entire UK! thank you so much for lovely feedback, excited to see your best of 2022 on the big screen later tonight. all our love to you both xx

    Yorkshire Yuletide village. Say that after a couple of gluweins Jill. 😃😃
    You could be right about the best city in the UK Nick

    • @GENerationXplorers
      @GENerationXplorers  2 роки тому +1

      your right about that Dave, third day of snow and ice here and its very cold! 🥶 wouldn’t have needed any sfx just two days after our visit! i think the formula is flawed, its apparently based on number of days open and number of stalls and then tripadvisor score. The York Market is open 37 days and has a 100 stalls. that really doesnt determine if its better than anywhere else. There was one carol singer and one street busker and only one carousel. for me a Xmas Market would have LOTS of street entertainment and lots of rides and activities for the children to engage in. still the walls were incredible and it certainly put us in the festive mood! have an awesome weekend! ♥️

    Hey both, loved this!! We’ve just got in, got some food, poured a drink and out Gen X on the TV. Shame you had to drive in, but free parking was a bonus as always. The city walls looked great, we should check them out ourselves some time. The markets, ok, they looked lovely, but we think we agree to maybe not bring the 2nd best in the UK or 5th in the world…maybe we’ve been spoilt over the last few days. Great video as always though, love the elf hat and glasses at the end 😂. Nice one both x

    • @GENerationXplorers
      @GENerationXplorers  2 роки тому

      Thank you so much Rach and Wills, what an awesome weekend you’ve had, you must be shattered! whoever came up with the formula of number of days it runs multiplied with number of stalls and tripadvisor score needs a serious talking to. ive never been but we’ve had lots of friends and family go to the Manchester one and for years they have made out like its the best one in the UK. the photos they send look incredible. one year i’ll definitely go to that. but the thought of any Market in the UK being able to beat any in Germany or Austria is just ludicrous. we could see them excitedly preparing for their Markets in the Autumn, they are the very essence of what a Christmas Market is about. A good chap on here has made a very good point about the coaches and how reliable and cheap they are. We could have easily visited by coach, so note to self, we don’t have to rely on British Rail! Glad your back safe and sound, your Christmas videos will undoubtedly make everyones Christmas, certainly ours, that much more cheerful! Next up is a return to Beverley Market, will it be as amazing as last year? 🧐 🍻

      5th in the world is the biggest stretch ive ever heard of, had to check it out when those ridiculously bold claims were made in the press! utter nonsense, but York definitely has a place in our hearts. we’ve had the fortune/misfortune to live, work and really get under the skin of some of the UKs most identifiable best Cities, York is possibly THE best all rounder, it attracts the best kind of people and is, compared to some of the other major contenders possibly one of the safest places for locals and tourists to enjoy alike. we feel almost at home there and always very safe. hope your having an awesome weekend ♥️♥️

    • @GENerationXplorers
      @GENerationXplorers  2 роки тому +1

      those walls are massive arent they? seen online they say 2 miles or 2.9 miles but thats just the actual walls not the extra 2 miles to get from one part of the wall to the other! love York though we dont tar all British Rail people with the same brush! we have mega love for Blondie xx

    Ah guys that looked like a good Christmas Market but like you, I surprised that it was voted 5th in the world. Love York so much and especially the walk around the walls. Really liked seeing York itself, even without the Christmas markets, it's such a stunning city and kind of reminds us of Chester a little bit . Thanks for taking us around. The mulled wine in the house sounded nice too ! 💖🍷 ~ Anna

      oh good shout Anna, yes, yes and yes. Chester is right up there. it was a haunt of mine and Jills when we were first dating. Weekend trips to the zoo and visit the lovely City, great memories, had actually forgotten that regardless of how prevalent Chester was in my upbringing. overdue a revisit there! would have loved to sample the mulled wine in York, ggggrrrr strikers! shakes fist many many times. hope you have an awesome weekend ♥️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

    There's so much history. Right up my street 👌
    I've never been all the way round the walls but have done a lot of them.
    Did you not go to "Betty's"?
    Thanks for taking us along on what looked like a great day!
    York is right up there with Edinburgh IMHO...the city, not the Christmas Market!

      Alistair, Alistair, equal minds. ive worked and lived in a few of our Cities so i feel i can speak first hand about what the full time experience is of a City. For us 1000% its York and Edinburgh, at a push id try and squeeze in Liverpool but after a long time living and working in some of the “obvious” greats like Oxford, Cambridge and London i could not recommend them at all. The level of organised crime and general unsafeness to tourists is way at odds with their historic beauties. Bettys is on our list every time but that queue was the longest ive ever seen. i never normally pass the opportunity to indulge in Bettys world class Macaroons but i think we would be still in that queue now had we waited! Wainwright Lad is queued up for our big screen Saturday night entertainment, it would have been first billing last night but we we were absolutely exhausted from our hectic December work schedule ♥️ 🥾

    The walk on the wall looked awesome. It reminds me of Chester. I don't really do Christmas markets (being a hermit and a Grinch) but it looked pretty cool. I actually didn't know they sold like "normal" stuff. The ones I've been to only sold German sausages and booze or is it that I was magnetised to those stalls and had blinkers on 🤭Great festive video. Boo to the rail strikes scuppering your day a bit.

    Pretty cool walk over and under many of the city walls in York to say the least👍. The York Christmas markets were quite nice and getting closer to Xmas there would be chockers for sure, but there are some superb ones in Germany that would somewhat reject that claim especially the one in Cologne ( been there) or Nuremberg as well as the one in Salzburg that supposed to be awesome too😍. I guess it depends what you are looking for in a Christmas market. Have a great day guys😊and a great Season's Greetings!

    • @GENerationXplorers
      @GENerationXplorers  2 роки тому +1

      Absolutely right, ive been to Salzburg in the Autumn and you can see evidence of their preparations for the Christmas Market almost everywhere, that and all the others you mention would hands down beat York. the flawed mathematics of deciding how good a Christmas Market is from days open, number of stalls and tripadvisor score is entirely at odds with what a Christmas Market can be. for me it would have a variety of unique stalls of all shapes and sizes, street performers and lots of rides for the children! thank you so much for watching and pointing out a handful of Markets for me to check out!

    York looks fabulous. Dare I say it but it looks very European 😂 I learned more about York from this video than from anywhere else except Vikings. I've seen a lot of Christmas market videos lately and you're right, there doesn't seem to be anything particularly outstanding about York's. I'd go to most of them for the food and drinks and sweets but all the other stuff looks a bit like crappy junk anyway. 😂 Those wall looked amazing. I can only imagine having a bar at every gate. I would make a good crawl for sure. 😂🍻

Great walk around the walls, we've not done that yet. Haha I have the subtitles on as well as the sound, so the Ouse became the Boos lol. We love The Star Inn The City and have had many a cuppa overlooking the river. The market does look better and nicer than when we last visited, but 5th in the world?!?! I'm not sure!

    I like the sound of the Worlds Best Christmas Market 😁 but not the sound of New York 🥺, unsure why but a place I have never fancied visiting🤔. Absolutely love York mind and we got a couple of times every year but gutted we missed out on the Christmas market 😡. We always walk around the City walls, which brings back so many memories for us with the kids and now the grandkids being so young, never sure if it makes me happy or sad🧐. Ohhh The Hole in the Wall pub, we have been going in there for food and drink for over 40 years 😛. I got a brilliant photo of my (then) 5 year old grandson when I took him to York for the day o the train, when we were coming down those narrow, steep stone stairs at Monk Bar. It was quite dark and I quickly turned around with my camera (with flash set to on) and took a photo of him shouting BOO at the same time, still a favourite photo of mine, even though it was 10 years ago now🤣. Agree with you on the trains and on the 5th in the world placing for York, it is good but I think Keswick is better, albeit a lt smaller. Is Beverly Christmas market just limited to the weekends? Very enjoyable watch but reinforced me being gutted about missing out on the market this year, cheers Alan

No matter what tine you visit its probably the safest place on the planet. law enforcement rules regular people at least 3:1! My first visit my train broke down in Brooklyn, have to admit I was a little scared being the only white person on the platform but it was perfectly fine.
