Sunday Drive: City Walls, York, England - 2013

After our stay in Scotland and before our visit to Liverpool, we were joined by Bonnie's cousin Lyn in York, which as guidebooks say has "the most complete example of medieval city walls still standing in England today."*

What remains of the walls no longer encircle the city but we spent a half-day marching around the surviving portions enjoying views of the Minster and the spring flowers in various backyards.

 

Bits and pieces of the original Roman walls are still standing in places, sometimes with medieval and Victorian courses on top of them.
