York City Centre Walk | Let's Walk 2020

With two millennia of fascinating history ready to be discovered at every turn, there are few cities in the world quite like York. Shaped over centuries by the Romans, the Vikings, the Normans and more, this centre of Northern England is one of the country's most significant cities, and also one of the most popular with visitors from all over the world, with all of York's main sights easy to discover on foot!

So, join me for a bumper hour-long walk around York's historic city centre on a sunny December afternoon, with the city bustling in the lead-up to Christmas!

On our walk around the city, we pass many of York's most famous landmarks, including Bootham Bar, York Minster, The Belfrey, Low Petergate, Mad Alice Lane, Kings Square, The Shambles, Shambles Market, Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate, The Merchant Adventurers' Hall, St. Denys's Church, Fishergate Postern Tower, Clifford's Tower, Fairfax House, Jorvik Viking Centre, Parliament Street, St. Helen's Church, Mansion House, Ouse Bridge, Micklegate Bar, York City Walls, York Station, Lendal Bridge, York Museum Gardens, The Yorkshire Museum, St. Mary's Abbey and York Art Gallery.

In all that time, we only just scratch the surface of what is undoubtedly one of the world's greatest cities, but I'll do my best to give you an in-depth tour of York.
