With a love of all things macabre, tongue in cheek and historic there was no question that we would be going on the York Ghost Bus Tour on our recent visit to the city.
Having previously taken part in the Edinburgh Ghost Bus Tour and something similar in Dublin, we felt well prepared!
The kind folks at Travelodge invited us to stay with them to sample a weekend in a UK city. We chose York and the Travelodge property on Piccadilly.
With prices starting from around £67 you are a mere 10 minutes saunter from the main shopping area of the city, as well as such historical gems as the Minster, Clifford Tower, and of course the Shambles.
Only 2 minute walk away across the road from the hotel is the final resting place of the one and only John Palmer… you may know him as Dick Turpin. Stand and Deliver!
