View of York Minster from the city walls (Image: Getty Images) York , a stunning university city known for its magnificent minster, has been crowned the friendliest and most relaxed place in the UK. Despite its historical associations with the War of the Roses and the Jorvik Viking Centre, this North Yorkshire gem is also a haven of tranquillity and friendliness. Travel gurus at Accor recently undertook a comprehensive study to identify the UK cities best suited for a serene and peaceful getaway, and York emerged victorious.
The city's abundance of green spaces, coffee shops, and libraries, coupled with its environmental quality, local happiness, and annual sunshine hours, all contributed to its top ranking as a Northern oasis of calm. Adding another accolade to York's list, Betway's settlement analysts have now declared it the friendliest city in the UK. This survey considered life satisfaction scores, safety, staff friendliness, quality of green spaces and parks, and the number of five-star rated restaurants.
York boasts 68 restaurants with five-star online ratings and, according to Betway, some of the most amiable and cheerful hospitality staff in the entire country, reports the Mirror . function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
