Full of history and great walks around the city. So much to see along the way, you just have to do it.

The walls do not now encircle the whole of York but there is still plenty of wall to walk. You don’t necessarily have to do it all in one go but it is worth trying to do the entire walk, especially as its free. From the wall you get good views of York and in certain locations there are boards explaining what you can see.

The walk on the walls is great. There are a lot of the walls left and they have open access. It’s easy if you can walk reasonable. And it’s so cool that this still exists and they allow such freedom is seeing it.

If you want to do this walk all at once you should be reasonably fit. There are places where there is no hand rails which could be a hazard. It gives you a view of all the different areas of the city and is worth doing if you have the time and energy.

Great walk round York City walls. With exception of a couple of breaks in the wall it’s amazing to see how intact they are. We had a lovely day for it and it was well worth doing the entire walk. Great free experience and way to see a bit more of York on a crazy busy Saturday shopping day!!

A different way to view York. Surprisingly the wall goes about 1/2 way around the City and then you can follow the rest of the wall by walking along the streets. You can enter the wall for free and don't have to pay for a tour.

This was something we were told 'we should do' and it didn't disappoint. We walked from Red Tower to Fishergate Postern Tower, I don't do heights so had been worried as I'd read some parts of the walls don't have a barrier along the wall, this part didn't, but it wasn't high enough to need it. It was a great way to see the city and all of us (2adults and 2 teens) enjoyed it. Glad we did it. At Fishergate, we then went into Witherspoon's for some food and a drink.

A beautiful sunny Mknday morning, and we explored the walls. We walked all around and saw the stunning York from them. A must when visiting York!

No trip to York would be complete without having walked along some of the city's famous wall! It's very interesting to see the different views and historic original features. There are benches for you to stop and rest. Some sections of wall are higher than others. The highest section we went on had a railing to stop people falling off the edge but the lower sections don't have this. There was a section we walked on that had both sides complete. There are hand rails up the steps on the entrances to the wall, which are needed because they're steep. The walls aren't disabled or pushchair friendly but I'd definitely recommend walking on them if you're able to! A must-do!

I booked the York Walls private tour weeks in advance. The tour guide did not show for the tour. Numerous attempts were made to call and email the week of the tour with no response from the tour guide. Viator’s response when I called was for them to also call and send another email. When they could not reach the tour guide, I was told to go at the time I included in my email then cancel if the tour guide does not show up. The refund process was cumbersome with the refund taking up to seven days.

I like city walls. Even better if you don't have to scoot over when people are approaching. No railing, but the drop does not look fatal. Just a roll down the hill. There are 4 bars which elsewhere would be Gates, some towers and lookouts. You can enter or leave the walls at each bar. Views into different neighborhoods.

This morning we walked the York city walls. We walked the whole lot , took many photos, admired many places from the walls, great views of the Minster. Took us a leisurely 3 hours, it was pure pleasure to walk this ancient wall that protected the old city of York for generations. It must have been a lot of hard work and skill that saw it completed. Sure glad the move to demolished the wall years ago failed, well done to those that had the foresight to keep it, what a draw card it is now for the city. Loved our time on the wall.

Hadnt done the walls walk for many many years, and I live in York great views of the city. Woud be nice to have more information points and history along the way.

Nice walk along the walls but real shame you can’t take dogs. Lots of ways up and down so can join for small sections. Good views across the city.

Great free fun with regular info boards giving relevant information as especially like motte and Bailey detail. However, when walls finished we struggled to find next stretch. Must do in York.
