Join me as we head south from York’s city walls on a walk packed with stories and surprises. This route follows two rivers, uncovers York’s industrial past, and wanders along the beautiful New Walk — a tree-lined avenue created in the 1730s for Georgian residents to promenade. Along the way, discover York’s military connections, a hidden railway, and cross one of the city’s great Strays. Keep your eyes open too — we’ll even pass the grave of one of history’s most infamous highway robbers.
