Daughter lives opposite the Park and Ride at Rawcliffe . If you park there for the day it will cost you 70-80p for the bus into town (if you have a bus pass) , but nothing coming back. Other P&R costs about the same to help pay for the upkeep of the car parks. Don't forget to buy a return ticket if you have to pay full fare, much cheaper.

I use Sainsburys. Its 2 minutes walk from the centre and is free if you spend so much in the shop.

The cheapest car park in York is Fossbank shoppers carpark, if you use the underground carpark it's £1 an hour. If you park outside GoOutdoors/Sainsbury's it's free for the first hour (but make sure you get a ticket) i'm not sure what the hourly charge is after that.

I agree with the Park & Ride. It's a 10 - 15 minute bus ride or a 20 minute walk to the car park near the station and no worries about over-staying.

Park & Ride opposite the college at Askham Bar. 

Don't spoil and pollute our county capital (I'm a York lass orginally).

http://www.itravelyork.info/park-and-ride/park-and-ride-sites

You can alight the bus near Coppergate, you can clearly see Cliffords Tower on your right.

Walking round the walls is a good way to see York.

Forget Coney street its full high street, but go through the Shambles and see the Minster.

There is a Pizza Express by Lendal bridge...lovely views, simple food and a bit of history.

The one thing not to miss is the Jorvik Centre, it really is great.

Not sure if its your thing but even song in the Minster is wonderful. I'm an RC and I can appreciate it 17

Agree with above, but there are a couple of nice little cafes right next door to the bus stop at Cliffords Tower.
