    plenty of travelodges and travel inns in york, make sure you all do a ghost walk, they are amazing as they take you around the old york... if your into history a ghost tour is a must.

    Just asked husband and he says about 40 mins by car. You should be able to get a train easily too :)

    trains into york are good. and the station is slap bang in the middle of town... er city ;-)

    so get off the train and wander for about 5 mins and your in town.

    Bus links are quite good also, i think you can get bus timetables online for york.

    make sure you use the park and rides, they are much cheaper than car parks.

    i will put bus link on here if i find it..
