YORK VLOG! ☕️ Betty’s Afternoon Tea, The Shambles, York Minster & History ⛪️ UK Road Trip Vlog 2 🇬🇧
Welcome to York! An incredible, walled city in northeast England founded by the ancient Romans, we loved spending 3 days exploring the history and architecture that now blend beautifully into modern life. We went for Afternoon Tea at Betty’s, had a Yorkshire Pudding wrap, explored The Shambles and finished with the National Railway Museum. This is our 2nd vlog in our UK Road Trip series as we travel to Scotland. If you’re new, we’re Brogan & Benji. Recently married, just turned 30, living in Bournemouth. We love exploring the UK and hope you’ll hit subscribe and enjoy coming along on our adventure! 🫶🇬🇧🚗

YORK! We've wanted to visit for YEARS and absolutely loved mooching, with such a nice variety of things to do/see! Please give the vlog a little thumbs up if you're enjoying them, and come back next week for Edinburgh! Thank so much, Brogan & Benji xx
Yes! I’d love to see you doing the Flying Scotsman! Failte gu Alba! 🏴
York is such a beautiful town. Living in California I probably won't be able to visit these places in the UK so these vlogs are so fun. Also i'm really loving Benji and all of his history facts. I would definitely love watching the train ride you guys mentioned from Kings Cross to Edinburgh.
Ohh my goodness the nostalgia and wistfulness I am feeling! I had the pleasure of visiting this magnificent city in April 2008 thanks to my penpal/special friend I was staying with.( I think I mentioned this after you dropped the news you were headed here )😂The Minster among the highlights…along with the Yorvik Museum( so fascinating and wasn't too crowded)..strolling on The Shambles..also did a cruise on the river. Just wonderful. Would've loved the train museum ! Benji I share your affinity for models of things. That one there is so cool. You mentioned a train being used in "Chariots of Fire"..great movie and love the theme song. The weather for us mirrored what you experienced..wet the first day then brighter the next. Thanks so much for sharing. Not gonna lie..may have gotten a wee misty eyed watching this ❤❤❤
You can’t beat a Betty’s!! My husband was watching and he’s been going to York for years with his family when he was younger and he saw the sign for the museum under the pub and went “how long has that been there? It wasn’t there when I was younger?” I told him this is why it’s important to watch your vlogs! You discover things you didn’t know about places you’ve visited before! 🥰
Me and my husband had a lovely stay in york a few years ago before we were married and loved it! Loving your vlogs …. cant wait to see scotland now ❤❤❤
❤❤❤ another fab blog
Happy travels! x
I went to uni in York so this has been nostalgic watching this. York is magical.
Ahhhhh the parking in York is a nightmare, I usually get the train just because of this! glad you enjoyed the city though! x
If you loved York and you haven’t visited before you should come to Lincoln, the bailgate area is like a mini York and we have a castle and Cathedral, think you and Benji would love it!
Benji, you can't beat a train museum, I'm with you 😊 great vlog, and thanks for sharing as always, my dream of an afternoon tea in the UK , one day 😊👋🇦🇺 YES to the flying Scotsman 🚂
The real tears!!! Sooo gorgeous and Benji’s reaction was pure love. You 2 are beautiful!!!! Love❤
Thank you for taking us along, love seeing the gorgeous buildings 💞💞💞
Hello Brogan lovely trip to York one of my favourite places have traveled up by train from Kings Cross for the day visited the train museum love all the facinating shops in the Shambles I saw Arcadia when you were in Sydney in February .
Excellent vlog, guys. I'd love to visit York. Loving Benji's history knowledge. 👍🏻
Love York. So many quirky shops and places to mooch. Some fab hotels such as Galtres Lodge. You should have also gone to Whitby
Loved that 😊🥰🥰
i went to uni in york it’s lovely seeing your vlog and im so glad you enjoyed it!!!
Oml it was soo groovy chick 😂
Can’t wait to see the Lake District part my favourite YouTubers in my home area hah xx
Glad you enjoyed York, it’s only an hour away from us & enjoy a midweek visit. Did you see the blue plaque on the pub wall next to the minster, it’s where Guy Fawkes was born! Such a historic city 😊
You guys would LOVE Canterbury. Seeing some of those streets, I feel like these cities must be twins haha
Loving this road trip series! You and Benji are such a sweet couple ❤
Such a great fun sincere interesting upbeat vlog
These guys are great together, doing what they do remaining true to self , and to viewers.
Great company.
Loved that vlog,York is so gorgeous,we loved going to Betty's, the fat rascals and fondant fancies were delicious 😋 I also bought some Xmas decorations in the same Xmas shoo 😊
Loving UK road trip.
Love the railway museum, we are a family of railway enthusiasts, and my daughter is a fleet engineer for network rail and often goes there for meetings 😊
Enjoyed the video. Went to York years ago and loved it back then.
If you like ‘walled cities’ you should head over to where I live in Derry/Londonderry in N Ireland as we have a complete walled city you can walk round and lots to see and lots of history, and great places to eat. And of course great Guinness! I’m a blow in lived here about 14 years but still find the place magical.
What a beautiful city! So many cute shops and interesting things to look at/do.
York is a beautiful place but a bit expensive.
It's so beautiful there!!! 😍😍😍 I love the architecture, the history, the shopping, the food… You two are VERY GOOD tour guides!!! We have a lovely place here in Savannah for afternoon tea, which my husband and I LOVE and go to once a year or so. Thank you for bringing us along on your adventure!!! Continued love and health to you both from across the pond!!! 💜💜💜
So interesting to see my new city in a different light! I moved to York in November, all the way from New Zealand and have kind of been taking it for granted recently, so this helped remind me why I live here ❤ glad you both had a wonderful time, despite the weather! Hope you also visited Whip-Ma-Whoop-Ma-Gate?!
I did Edinburgh at Christmas – SUCH a lovely city!!!
Oh my god the strap line on Benji’s head from the VR headset had me dead laughing 🤣 glad you both enjoyed yourselves. I loooove York it’s my second fave place after Edinburgh. 💕
The society of alchemists is owned by the yorkshire soap company. Its a great store and the blackened fig wax melts ard the best
If you go back to York in the future I would highly recommend the York Castle Museum. Great vlog!
You should have left the car in a park and ride
We are flying to Shanghai in March , staying overnight then getting a 7 night cruise to Japan ( as a taster trip ) , then 3 nights back in Shanghai to explore ( they have Disney ) before flying back to London , got it for a great price 😊
