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.

Hello here is where I live.#

End/begining of the wall

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
