A walk around and through the ancient city of York visiting most of the

on which York stands. We advise four hours to do the walk because
there are so many places that invite you to visit them. This walk is not
suitable for pushchairs as there are frequent steps. It is however
recommended for children, as there are so many places on interest that
break the walk into sections.
