York: Roman, Viking and medieval
York · United Kingdom
from 26 £ per person
You will walk through the old centre of York. You will see the giant church that took 250 years to build. You will see a street of old leaning wooden houses. You will see the city walls, and a gate called a "bar". You will see where the Viking city was dug out of the mud. You will see a stone tower shaped like a four-leaf clover. You will see the Roman wall, the oldest part of all. Everything is close. We walk slowly. We stop whenever you want.
