york is a lovely place, full of history. the city walls are great you can see all of york city from here. they is also interesting historical artifacts along the way.

If you visit York I would recommend taking a walk around the City Walls early in the evening when there are less tourists. You can do a circuit around most of the centre of York walking on top of the City Walls, although some bits have crumbled away. There are some lovely views and interesting historical artifacts along the way.

OK, so the wall is really a Victorian make-over but well worth the walk around, taking in the sights of the city with plenty of access points to get down to visit a pub or cafe.

It is possible to walk all the way round York on the walls although there is a bit missing. The gates and the barbican are interesting too. A few years ago a watchman was using pointy sticks he found to light fires. They were discovered to be the spikes for severed heads.
“Let Yorks head sit on Yorks gate so York can o’erlook York” (Probably misquoted Shakespeare).
‘Braveheart’, William Wallace is said to have reached the Walls but didn’t get in.
They cllose sections at night but a summer stroll at dusk is wonderful. Take in the Minster and Treasurers House and all other ecclesiastical buildings and much more.
Then go for a pint or 6 :0))
