The York City Walls

#uktrip Walking the York City Walls is one of the best ways to see the city from a unique vantage point. The walls, which stretch for about 2 miles, date back to Roman times and are the most complete city walls in England. They offer stunning views of York’s historic architecture, including the Minster, as well as glimpses of the River Ouse and lush green parks. Tips: • Start your walk at Bootham Bar for the most scenic section. • Wear comfortable shoes, as parts of the walk involve stairs and uneven surfaces. • Visit in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the busiest times.
