York City Walls


Picturesque in springtime
Tourist Information Centre, De Grey Rooms
St Leonards Place
York YO1 7HB
United Kingdom
+44 1904 62 1756
York is at its most picturesque in springtime when the daffodils are blooming. These beautiful spring flowers enhance the earthen ramparts, which were razed by the Romans and the Anglo-Danish kings of York but strengthened later by the Normans. There are almost three miles of encircling medieval wall which has been carefully maintained and restored over the centuries and which still has considerable remnants of the original Roman walls integrated with and strengthened by the medieval structures. The entrance to the walls is free and they are open during daylight hours.
