York — La Fédération sur le territoire

York — mediaeval walls, the Minster's rose window, the Shambles (the most intact medieval street in Europe) and the National Railway Museum — is a three-hour driver run from Mayfair, making it a natural day excursion. The Federation organises private Minster tours before opening, afternoon tea at Bettys, dinner at the Star Inn at Harome (one Michelin star), and Knavesmire racecourse transfers during the Ebor Festival (August) — flat racing's most civilised Yorkshire gathering.
