Notes
We don’t smoke or have any pets for our exchange partners to take care of.
We have extensive family in Sydney & Perth, Australia so Grahame and I are not looking exchange partners there, but would consider other areas of Australia particularly along the north coast

Neighbourhood
Like all cities with medieval roots, York is compact. No place is far from another or hard to find.
We are less than 3 kilometres/1.7 miles from the city centre, you can walk there in 35 minutes or catch a regular bus, then everything is at your fingertips. Cafes, restaurants, tourist attractions, bars, theatres, museums and art gallery. Daytime or evening; it is really very easy to go to the city centre which is a 10 minute bus journey
Locally, we have supermarkets, restaurants, cinema, bowling alley, pub, coffee shop and takeaway food.
Most photos on our listing are taken in York City centre and are around 2 miles from our home. Other destinations have a travel time in the text underneath the photo - for example, at the coast, which is about one hour from our home.
Getting to my home
York is a major transportation hub so getting to our home is straightforward by public transport as we are on main routes for national trains and bus services.
York is on the mainline east coast rail and is a direct 2 hours from London and 2.5 hours direct from Edinburgh.
Getting to our home from the rail station you can get a taxi cab if you have luggage.
Alternatively it is a 10 minute journey on the bus.
Car Ferry from Amsterdam or Rotterdam in the Netherlands to Hull or Newcastle
By car we are inside the York ring road so buses are every 12-15 mins throughout the day.

Getting around
We are inside the York ring road which is extra convenient and means you do not need a car whilst staying at our home to explore York and our coastline, which is an hour away.
York is a beautiful city full of history and is pedestrian friendly.
We have a regular and reliable bus service, which runs every 12-15 minutes or walking to the city centre is a great option.
You can also take many day trips from the rail station to the east coast or Harrogate, Knaresborough, Scarborough and Sheffield or Leeds, Newcastle or Durham for example.
If you have a car then you have endless extra possibilities of our 2 national park areas: North Yorkshire Moors and Yorkshire Dales.
