    Tips

    June 5, 2025

    If you are going to walk up the Shambles, and if you want to take fabulous photographs, then go as early in the morning as you can. The best view, and the one the internet is littered with, is from slightly north of the junction of the Shambles and the Little Shambles, looking south. The street itself can get insanely overcrowded in the summer, to the point where you struggle to move along the street. Definitely worth seeing, but Stonegate, Petergate and Minster Gates are far more accessible, with better views, the same old buildings and cobbles, and you'll spend less time treading on people's heels.
