YORK

Where can you find a fully functioning windmill in the middle of a residential road? Or reach the very end of the solar system? Where can you walk in the middle of a 15,000-year-old bog, or swim in a pool once powered by fruit pastilles? Discover Europe's largest plasticbottomed lake, Betty's underground Dive Bar, the fastest rocket to ever have flown in Earth's atmosphere, the secret ceremony room of the Freemasons, and even York's most prestigious postbox. Far from the crowds and the usual cliches, York has a plenty of undiscovered hidden treasures for people who know how to wander off the beaten track. This is an indispensable guide for those who want to really get to know York...and especially for those who think they know it already.

I'll be spending all my free time travelling and researching; discovering the hidden places around the country that can help tell the stories of our society and  how we have interacted with nature.
