Itinerary

Main stop

Minster Yard, Deangate, YO1 7HH York

Start your walk at York Minster. Just open Ciceru nearby to begin exploring the vast Gothic exterior, where flying buttresses, stained glass windows, and centuries of ambition dominate the city skyline.

5 College Street, YO1 7JF York

Pause outside St William’s College and admire its timber framed façade, once home to chantry priests paid to sing souls out of purgatory.

YO1 8AW York

Walk along Stonegate, the ancient street that carried Roman legions and later fed limestone to the ever growing Minster above.

The Shambles, YO1 York

Stroll through the Shambles and take in the leaning medieval buildings whose overhanging upper floors once shaded butcher stalls below.

Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate, York

Step into York’s shortest street and enjoy the oddly named lane that delivers history in under fifteen paces.

Coppergate, YO1 9WT York

Stand outside on Coppergate and imagine the Viking city of Jórvík beneath your feet, revealed here during modern excavations.

Fossgate, YO1 9XD York

Admire the exterior of the Merchant Adventurers’ Hall, where medieval traders built one of England’s most powerful commercial guilds.

Tower Street, , YO1 9SA York

View Clifford’s Tower from the base of its mound, a royal fortress turned prison, execution site, and enduring symbol of power and violence.

27 Micklegate, YO1 6JH York

Wrap up your tour at Micklegate Bar. Take a moment to study the gate where kings entered York and traitors were displayed before ending your walk.
