"Get a yearly King Alfred membership for about £14, and you a discount on casual gym usage - only £4.25 a time. Great new equipment after the refurb."

"Tchai-ovna is worth the trip on the train. Almost too many teas to choose from, and a relaxed atmosphere to drink in."

"Alright, the best part being the 'ride' around old Jorvik and the info at the end about the archaeological analysis of skeletons."

"The tour (with David) was worth having for some background on the architecture and the idiosyncrasies of the minster. Look out for the recent bosses on the ceiling, including one of Neil Armstrong!"

"Delicious, especially the mushroom burger and sweet potato wedges. Staff lovely too, and very helpful."

"Worth the entrance fee. The Ames room can provide endless amusement. The actual camera obscura worth going in for, but one for the kids. There's lots of steps up and down, be warned!"
