ヨークのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

lovely place to visit all year round

The oldest surviving cast-iron railway bridge of its kind in Britain, dating back to 1847. - The last train crossed the viaduct on 27 November 1965, after which the line was closed and the structure fell into disuse. By 1991, its condition had deteriorated so badly that East Yorkshire Borough Council planned to demolish it, estimating costs at £60,000. Thanks to local protests and rail heritage campaigners, the demolition was halted. The viaduct was restored and now forms part of the Sustrans National Cycle Network, preserving its legacy for public enjoyment.

Can get busy at times and some of the shops have large queues so be patient but well worth a visit if your in the area

You get a true sense of scale when you turn onto Museum Street with the view of the cathedral in front of you, it dwarfs the surrounding buildings. York is a busy city centre with packed streets

North Street Postern Tower is first mentioned in 1376 as 'the tower on the water of Ouse behind the tannery', and in later centuries as Barkertowre. Here one end of the chain blocking the river was secured. It was usually let to the ferryman operating the ferry across the Ouse to St. Leonard's Landing (discontinued after the opening of Lendal Bridge in January 1863). The tower was used as a mortuary from 1879, was restored in 1930, and until further restoration in 1970 served as a store for the Parks Department.

Most of the Roman walls are underground, and are overlaid with centuries of modification including Danish and Norman ramparts. Example cross-section of the walls can be viewed at https://www.british-history.ac.uk/rchme/york/vol2/pp108-138. With 6 Bars (gatehouses), 8 posterns and 39 towers (not all have survived), you can't come to York and not walk some of the walls, the most scenic parts are the North Corner around the Minster on the north side of the city centre.
