York’s medieval City Walls: Stroll along one of the most complete medieval walled cities!

#yorktrip York’s medieval City Walls (or “Bar Walls”), a scheduled ancient monument encircling the historic City of York. They are the longest town walls in England. They were built mainly in the 13th century of magnesian limestone and, uniquely in England, were set on earthen ramparts. A visit to York will not be complete without a stroll along part of the 2 miles of historic walls that have protected the city for nearly 2000 years. The walls are completely free to walk. However, guided tours can be booked. Have an enjoyable trip to York City. #myhiddengems
