we started at Goodramgate/Monkgate and walked left. Beautiful stretch of Roman walls. Lots of stairs.
A nice way to sample what York has to offer for anyone wanting to soak up some history. You do not have walk along it far to get a feel for it’s history.

Walking round part of the walls was very enjoyable. A pleasant walk with great views. Great to see York Minster from a different angle. The walls were quiet, maybe due to the time of year. Not too many steps up or down either.
