The Shambles ~ Summer 2023
My memories of a summer in 'The Shambles'
Brought to (second) life by the talented Tolla Crisp.
'The Shambles' returned for the summer with beautiful vistas, relaxing corners to meet up with friends, lovely walks and a fun beach ... all in all a perfect place to forget the woes of both worlds and just be immersed in english summer beauty.
The 'real life' Shambles, in York dates back to the 14th century, a narrow, cobbled street in the city originally known for its many butcher shops. One of the most popular tourist destinations in York, it is often cited as one of the most picturesque streets in the world, which is easy to see with it's timber buildings and old-world ambience that has been preserved in large parts.
Tolla beautifully re-imagined the world that once was and extended the vibe into a wider village setting, with beautiful woodland walks along a river, a camping spot and even a beach setting. The absolute fun part was, of course, the mega high Bungee Jump Tower.
It is gone for now, but fingers crossed, it will be back at some point in the future...maybe even for Halloween.
Thank you, Tolla for a beautiful summer location and the memories x
