Fiona Laing: i weekend
“It’s said that York boasts a bar for each day of the year. These establishments vary in shape and size, and there’s even a walking tour that explores their history, with some dating back to the 16th century. Keith Martin shares his enthusiasm for York’s oldest pubs in exchange for a donation to Keep Your Pet, a charity that assists people in caring for their animals during challenging times.”
