The city walls
Start at Bootham Bar, by the Minster
Address: Bootham Bar, High Petergate, York YO1 7EW- Outdoors
- Free
Walk the walls that still wrap most of the old city, the longest medieval town walls in England, climbing on and off at the gateway bars.
Why it's a good date: A couple of hours of free history with the Minster in view for much of the way, and you can stop whenever you fancy a coffee. The stretch from Bootham Bar to Monk Bar is the prettiest, and the walls close at dusk.
