Great way to get around York

Last Updated By

Get around York in a TukTuk

Getting around York is now even more fun! Grab a TukTuk and travel in style…

They seat 6 passengers, for a ‘cosy experience’ (maximum 4 adults, 2 children), operate silently as they are powered by magic, ok – they’re electric.

They’re equipped for all weathers with clear sided rain covers and heated seats for those really chilly days – – chilly days in York?? not noticed any of those 🙂  Anyway, you’ll be nice and snug if you’re staying in the York Stay apartment.

York TukTuks are not a taxi service but are a great way to see York City, either on their city tour, a Knavesmire tour which will get you to the races, or even book them for a special event.

Great Art Gallery in Knaresborough

Last Updated By

Just returned from one of our favourite art gallery spaces – Art in the Mill in Knaresborough – to collect a York Cityscape created for the 10 Cloisters Walk apartment by artist Nicola Cook. We will hang it in the lounge this week and share with you.

There are so many talented artists in Yorkshire, we intend to gradually add contemporary pieces (with a Yorkshire flavour) to our apartment for our guests to enjoy!Art in the Mill
