Entrance to Newgate
Market

Located in a market square between the Shambles and Parliament Street, NEWGATE MARKET has 110 stalls offering a wide variety of dried goods, fruit and vegetables as well as fresh fish and meat.
I really enjoyed browsing around the stalls in this wonderful outdoor market, taking in the fragrant smell of the fresh flowers and fresh fruit.
Newgate Market is open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and until 4:30p.m. on Saturday & Sunday.

	The Shambles Tip Rating:

The Shambles is perhaps one of the prettiest areas for shopping in York.

The name comes from the traditional name for a street containing butcher shops and slaughter houses!. Thankfully, these have been swapped for a selction of small shops offering a variety of goods.

The street was built narrow to keep the light of the meat.

The buildings over hang the street and looking either up or down the Shambles gives you an idea of what life would have been like in York in days gone by.

Mouthwatering displays

Not sure what the name of these markets was but it sure filled an hour looking around. It was very popular and pleasantly set out.

There were so many stalls...clothing, books, antiques, china, fruit and veg, bags...
I picked up a good travel bag for 4 pound and some nice fruit. If you leave it till mid afternoon the fruit and veg are discounted drastically.
It is open Saturdays till 4pm.

Strawberries...99 pence to 2.20 pound a punnet..
Mandarines...10 for 1 pound.

Theme: Local Craft

Directions: Just off the Shambles.

Fudge!!

Sigh! One of my favourite snacks/food is fudge - yes, I admit it, I'm a fudge-aholic- so how could I go past this shop!

Um, fudge is a good idea!! They have all kinds of flavours. There is also chocolate, peanut brittle, nougat, lollies and sweets. Basically everything you need to rot your teeth!!!

Fairly good pricing (some stuff a bit on the expensive side)

Books!!!

Borders is a large book shop, with just about everything you could need - book related. There are 2 floors of books, 1 floor of music and a cafe. Good spacing - you're not bumping into people whilst perusing/skimming a book - and friendly staff.

I like to buy something from a local author (county or country).

Usual retail prices, although they do have sales.

	Various: Gift shops Tip Rating:

You could literally spend all day popping into shops, the entire center of town is filled with gift shops selling any kind of souvenir you could possibly want from York and more sweet shops than I've seen anywhere.

I couldn't resist the clotted cream fudge and shortbread, I bought it for my mother in law and let's just say that not all of it made it home ;-) For my young nephews, they had all kinds of figures of knights and warriors in a variety of styles, I bought these really heavy pewter ones and regretted it later as I was lugging them home. But they really liked them!

York Street

The Shambles is a shambles when it comes to shopping great for tourist crap. Nice street go there but far better shops to be found nearby.

Stay away from the usual UK high street shops and find those quaint shops in the old part of town NOT Shambles which is fine for tat for the kids.

Entrance to McArthur Glen

A large shopping centre/mall with a Viking theme to the south east of town.

A small shopping centre/mall with many shops on the ground floor and four shops and eating facilities on the upper floor with a Viking theme.
The food court is particularly good with all tastes catered for and there is internet access on computers in the food court.
Parking is plentiful and free and the grounds are well landscaped. The centre is easy to get around and there are plenty of shops for everyone with designer label shops for Armani, Burberry, Paul Smith and Polo amongst others. Marks and Spencer are represented too.
Bear in mind many lines are taken from main city centre stores because they are discontinued or superceeded by new models in say electrical goods but all goods for sale are new and come with standard guarantees.

All labelled clothes reduced by at least 50%. All other goods reduced on normal shop prices.
