We had the privilege and honor of taking a walk through the little alleys of York, England with a truly great tour guide, Warwick Burton of YORKWALK. His native knowledge and sense of humor made this an wonderful experience. We walked through tiny lanes that most visitors would miss, but this became the highlight of the city for us. Thank you Warwick. After strolling through countless little lanes, we have a look at the Shambles in the narrow, quaint shopping lane becomes crowded during the day but was nearly empty when we walked through in late afternoon. The Shambles is so narrow they say it's possible for neighbors to reach out across the street from their second-story homes and shake hands. You'll probably come back to it several times as you wander through the town, but you will find the best time to enjoy the Shambles and get an uncluttered photo is early morning or evening, when the shops are closed and the crowd is absent. Warwick will be greatly missed by his many friends and former travellers, but the company he founded 30 years ago, YORKWALKS, will continue providing a rich variety of walking and coach tours in York and the surroundings.
