🇬🇧 York▪York City Walls

✿ Not Well-Built Walls, But Brave Citizens Are The Bulwark Of The City. ✿ York City Walls have existed since Roman times, so they are also called Roman Walls. After the Viking invasion, it was rebuilt, so the existing ancient city walls surrounding the center of York were built in the Middle Ages. York City Walls is one of the longest and best-preserved city walls in the UK, with a total length of 3.4 kilometers. There are 4 main city gates - Bootham Bar, Micklegate Bar, Monk Bar and Walmgate Bar. They were used to restrict traffic, collect tolls and serve as defensive positions in wartime in the Middle Ages. The York City Walls are one of York's landmarks and are quite representative. The whole journey of walking along the York City Wall takes about 3 hours. While you are setting foot on the historical footprint, you can also enjoy the pleasant scenery inside and outside the city of York. #silverjourney #uktravel #york #yorkcitywalls
