1. Minster to Shambles - 1.5 miles / 1.5 hours / Not Wheelchair/Buggy friendly (Goes up on the City Walls)

Initially revel in the splendour of York’s magnificent Minster, before entering the city’s narrow streets and lanes with quirky shops and plentiful restaurants. Then it’s up onto the walls at a famous Gate, with fascinating views of the city, then historic buildings and tales of times past. Finally, it’s back to tourist York and the Shambles, a famously narrow, old-world street with overhanging, timber-framed buildings.
