Q:
Visited today amidst Rain and Sun showers, what a place full of atmosphere and beauty. The grounds are well worth a visit and free, Molly Dog loved it too... the Coffee Cycle Company has a small stall by the museum selling some of the finest coffee to be found in York. To top it off, they sell VEGAN cake, what more can you ask for - well a percentage of their profit goes to charitable educational work in this country and abroad.
