York Walking Tour

A little insider tip: If you are there for a few days, you can also go on excursions to the York area. For example, we recommend a train tour to Scarborough, a city right on the sea, a good 50 kilometers east of York. The sprawling Scarborough Castle sits on a small headland above the town and offers spectacular views of the open ocean. 

 

If navigating the site of the major companies is too main-stream for you, you can now learn and control your experience to enhance site visits and improve your experience to enjoy the tour thoroughly.

Here are some places to see in York:

  • The medieval city walls with their city gates can be seen almost in their entirety. The entire circuit is about 5 kilometers long, including a section on which there was never a wall.
