Lottery funded local residents’ group ACORN have commenced their 2018 excursion season with a visit to the vibrant city of York.
Cathedral, Railway Museum, Jorvic Centre, the Shambles or shopping. There is always plenty to do in York and ACORN members took full advantage of the fantastic spring weather to explore narrow streets and quirky little emporiums selling everything from antiques to old fashioned sweet shops.
Thanks to ACORN for organising the trip and to those people who joined us on our mini adventure.
