York’s pulling power is undiminished, a new survey has revealed.

Two of the places people most want to visit are in the city, according to the poll out today.

Uber asked 2,000 UK adults which attractions they wanted to visit when all the lockdown restrictions are lifted.

And the cobbled delights of Shambles came in at number two in a list of 40 places – just behind the Royal Botanic Gardens.

Meanwhile York Minster was the top historic attraction, ahead Edinburgh Castle, Stonehenge and the Tower of London.

The Minster is already open for worship, and it is planning to welcome back visitors on 17 May if the roadmap allows.

Admission will be pre-booked ticket, available from 26 April. Visitors will be required to wear face masks will be required and hand sanitising stations will stay in place.
