Micklegate Bar, the most significant among York's four primary medieval gateways, held a prominent role as the focal point for grand events. Its name, derived from 'Micklelith' meaning 'great street,' aptly reflects its significance.

Serving as the primary entrance to the city for those arriving from the South, this historic gate witnessed the passage of numerous reigning monarchs, who adhered to the tradition of seeking the Lord Mayor's permission before entering the city.

Bishopthorpe Palace Gatehouse

Highlight • Monument

Bishopthorpe Palace is situated along the beautiful River Ouse south of the city centre of York. It's the official home of the Archbishop of York, and has been for all previous Archbishop's of York since 1241.

Whilst the inside of the palace is only open for pre-arranged tours with quite a long waiting list, you can still admire the palace and its beautiful gatehouse from the footpath outside.
