York, England




It really does look like Harry Potter land as you walk through the shambles in York. This is the ancient street of the Butchers of York, mentioned in the Domesday Book of William the Conqueror. It takes its name from the word 'Shamel' meaning the stalls or benches on which the meat was displayed. It was rebuilt about 1400, when it assumed its present character. The brick paved narrow streets are fascinating to walk down. Lots of fun!
