The Shambles

One of the most photographed streets in England! The Shambles is one of York's oldest medieval streets. This narrow cobbled street originally housed butchers shops now home to many small curiosity shops. The original wooden beams and slabs in front of the windows can still be seen. The wooden buildings overhang the street so much you could shake hands with your neighbour opposite! At the top end The Shambles opens up into Kings Square where street entertainers wow the crowds. Dave's Hog roast shop near to Kings Square is very popular, where you can get really tasty hot roast sandwiches! Also there is a fish & chip shop on Petergate close to King's Square.
