York City Walls

George VI once said proudly that "the history of York is the history of England." Located on the banks of the River Us in north-east England, York is the second largest tourist city in England, with outstanding architecture and 2,000-year history blended with thriving commercial streets, with more than 30 museums and galleries in the city centre. Here you can stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the leisure and tranquility of the British town.

It was nice to be able to see the panoramic view of York city while walking along the walls.

There is a round arched entrance at the gate that says the entrance to the York City Wall, no charge. The city wall is centered on York Cathedral ⛪️, we have probably spent an hour around the city wall, and after going up, we have to go all the way to the end, we can go down, it takes a little physical strength, if there are young children, we will know it clearly. The road along the city wall is a little narrow, and if someone comes on, you must make way before you can continue. But the scenery on the city wall is very beautiful, and it is more beautiful like a fairy tale. The York wall, which has existed since Roman times, is still quite intact, and such a powerful historical monument must of course step on it!

York city walls is the first place we visited in our York trip. Built by the Romans in medieval period, this structure still stays so strong and rigid. This 2 miles long structure is the longest city wall of England.

We had only two nights in York, and due to the late train, we had only limited time to visit the city. York retains a large number of ancient buildings, such as the York City Wall, which was built during the Roman reign for 5 kilometers, and its center is the York Cathedral. Walking a section of the old city wall is what the general York trip will do. You can enjoy the scenery of York on the wall, especially the majestic York Cathedral. The weather was very good on this day, the blue sky and white clouds, very suitable for outdoor walking, that is, the wind in York is too strong, blowing a little headache.
