Everyone walks the wall

The wall is in three parts, walk all three parts as each is a little unique
For me the best part for taking a picture is the part of the wall which passes the train station.

End/begining of the wall

Red Tower

Red Tower marks the start or end of the city wall of York.
At this end in days gone bye the ground was very marshy.
From here to Tower Street the wall passes close to the grave of Dick Turpin. Come off before the end at the Phoenix pub.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Nice and small, flat easy to walk around
Cons:Can be very busy in summer
In a nutshell:Old city history = quaint

An English friend told me I'd gotta visit York cos it's the most 'English' city in England... Can't agree more while I see your page. Will be there this autumn.
