Join me as we discover York from the water’s edge as you wander along two rivers and pass or cross over six very different bridges. This riverside walk reveals how the waterways have shaped the city, from its history and architecture to its flood defences — and offers a fresh, often overlooked perspective on York. As a Geographer, I really enjoy this walk.
