The Bar, which lies 100 yds. southeast of the porta decumana of the legionary fortress, is built almost entirely of magnesian limestone and dates from the early 14th century; the uppermost storey was added in the late 15th century and windows were renewed in the 16th century. The gatehouse was built to a sophisticated design, making it a self-contained fortress with each floor defensible, even when the others had been captured. Variations in stone sizes and irregular coursing indicate several stages during the construction, with the front wall apparently preceding the vaulting. There is no trace of an earlier gate on this site.

Welcome to the most popular city in the UK in 2025 (if you believe YouGov polls... https://yougov.co.uk/ratings/travel/popularity/cities/all). Staggering amount of fascinating history and Wikipedia does a decent job of making it accessible, or you can go really deep into something like the five-volume "An Inventory of the Historical Monuments in City of York": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_York https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eboracum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scandinavian_York https://www.british-history.ac.uk/rchme/york/vol1

Along with The Norman House near Stonegate, this is probably one of the oldest surviving buildings in York, and is the only Bar with its Barbican intact. Walmgate Bar consists of a passageway with arches at each end and a rectangular gatehouse of two storeys above. There are bartizans at the angles towards Lawrence Street, and at the rear is a timber-framed projection supported on two stone columns. The barbican, portcullis and wooden inner doors still remain. The Bar is built of magnesian limestone and was heavily restored in 1645–8. Its upper floors have been used by Gatehouse Coffee for a few years now, and were once a bookshop. Walmgate Bar is first mentioned in the mid 12th century. The earliest surviving masonry, the inner arch of the main gate, is of this date.

A beautiful rural canal of two halves, the upper reaches of the Pocklington Canal between Canal Head and Melbourne is characterised by un-restored locks, tree lined towpaths, and classic humpbacked bridges. Only the lower reaches of the canal is open to boats, lying in an open landscape of floodplains and meadows, rich in wildlife, and identifiable by its distinctive swing bridges. Once threatened, the canal was saved by the work of local volunteers and campaigners, and is now home to three Sites of Special Scientific Interest. Look out for Church Bridge and Swing Bridge No. 7 on the Pocklington Canal – both recently restored.

Monk Bar is the largest and most ornate of the bars, it dates from the early 14th century. It was a self-contained fortress, with each floor capable of being defended. On the front of the bar is an arch supporting a gallery, including 'murder-holes' through which missiles and boiling water could be rained down upon attackers. Monk Bar has the city’s only working portcullis, in use until 1970. Like the other main gateways, Monk Bar originally had a barbican on the front. This was demolished in 1825. The rooms above the gateway have had various uses over the years, including as a home and as a jail for rebellious Catholics in the 16th century.

This is a beautiful rural canal that stretches 9.5 miles (15 km) between East Cottingwith and Canal Head. The canal path is lined with trees and passes by numerous original locks and elegant humpbacked bridges. It's a delightful stretch of walking – truly.

The ancient walled city of York dates back an incredible 2,000 years. The city is characterised by its historic buildings, outstanding architecture and narrow medieval streets lined with independent shops, cafés, bars and restaurants, the most famous of these streets being the iconic Shambles.
