York & the Goathland Sheep

After driving around the tiny town of York for a while we found our B&B and met Amy. She was so nice and the perfect B&B hostess. Since it was still a bit light we thought we'd go for a walk around York. We discovered the old shambles and York Minster which we visited again the next morning. Amy proudly informed us that they will be filming some of the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie in the old shambles, so readers keep your eyes open for this street in movie 4.
York use to be a viking settlement so underneath York is a lifetime of artifacts and all that jazz. We went to a viking museum kind of thing where you sat on a carriage and it took you through a viking settlement and told the story of the vikings in York. All up York is just this really cute town with characters like the main I brought a York in Winter painting from. He told us about how in December York went into lock down because everything became ice.

We left York later in the morning to discover the roads we wished for yesterday. Don't you agree that this looks like Nulla Nulla?

We were not prepared, however, for what came up next. After just casually driving through a hilly area we came across a sign that indicated that the sheep were basically free range and could be anywhere they liked. This was fine but it also continued into the small town. There was sheep everywhere! Around peoples houses and just crossing the road as they pleased. We could not stop laughing at these sheep.

This wasn't our cause for visiting this town called Goathland which was in the middle of nowhere though. What brought us here was none other than the train station they used in Harry Potter of course! You were just waiting for Hagrid to walk around the corner with a giant lantern.

After Goathland we continued our trip north up towards Edinburgh. This was the first time we hit rain and that we saw the stone hedges!
