York City Walls

Highlight • Historical Site

The sections of City Wall provide a fascinating insight to the historical city of York and how it was laid out centuries ago.

Not suitable for young children if not kept close, as large sections have a 15-20 foot (4-6m) drop in places from the unprotected edge of the wall.

The section from Layerthorpe Bridge to Bootham bar is quite narrow but does have a railing to protect those walking from falling off the edge.

Walmgate Bar

Highlight • Historical Site

The Walmgate Bar is one of York's medieval city gates. It still has an upstream kennel. Inside there is a beautiful café (Gatehouse Coffee) with seating on different floors and on various parts of the wall, really great and quaint. 👍

York City Walls

Highlight • Historical Site

About two thirds of the medieval city wall has been preserved and can be walked on. From there you have a very nice view of various sights, especially the York Minster.
