The Black Swan is one of the more upscale, elegant pubs, with an interior that recalls its beginnings in the 17th century.

Address: 16 Pavement, York YO1 9UP
This pub is the only one to give the Old Starre a good debate on which is the oldest in town - it also claims to be haunted.

The menu features pub...

The courtyard with its picnic benches is a great...
