The walls and ruins are a fascinating and worthwhile experience. The steps up to the top of the wall are steep and it is high for people who are afraid of heights. It is a special experience. I really would have appreciated more signage. Without it I had no idea what I was looking at or which time period it is from.

A pleasant, easy walk with good city views. It was mostly paved and therefore safe to manoeuvre with just a few steps to get up and down. The wall briefly ceases to exist in a few places and I sometimes had to search for the next stage.

We had a day out in York and after a hearty breakfast at The Postern Gate we strolled around the walls of the city taking in the glorious views. It's a lovely walk and we thoroughly enjoyed the day. There's ample opportunity to leave the walls, break away, have a look at the locality and then return to the high point and carry on your merry way. There is history ay every turn and plenty of spots to read up about the points of interest you'll pass as you enjoy your journey around the walls. A fascinating stroll that you really must do if you ever visit the gorgeous city.

Nice walk around the walls. We started at the Bootham bar which I'd recommend as you end up as the very picturesque section at the end. Very easy walk, some steps at the sections. Lot of stuff I read said it took about 2 hours but don't think we were walking much longer than an 1/1.5 hours. Fairly steady walkers (both 41). I'd say earlier you go the better as I'd imagine it gets pretty busy. We went around 9am and as the morning went on it started getting busier.

One cannot visit York and not walk on its city walls either part way or for the full existent circuit. Provides an opportunity to visit many other places of attraction along the way as well as treating you to some terrific scenery. Able to be accessed from many parts of the walls circumference.

We walked the entire walls over 2 days (stopping off at other places if interested) but could be done in 1, gentle stroll. It’s an amazing walk, full of history and views of the city. Our mind went back I. Time and tried to imagine what it was like… But then you come across Viking and roman artefacts, a tower that’s now a museum. Just mind blowing!!

The history of these walls is impressive and amazing. They run the perimeter of the city. We walked the entire walls in a day, getting on and off to see the different sites on the way. Some of the paths are narrow. Some of the stores are steep. Beautiful views from most of the walls, not so much when you get to the housing estate at the back, but how fab to look out of your window and have these on your garden gate!! We bumped into a walking tour whixh we listed to at the stop we were at, even better if you want the whole experience. A must see and do whilst in York for all ages.

Walked around the walls solo. Took about 1.5 to 2 hours. There is a section that is not accessible due to roadworks near the railway station at Queen St so could not do full circuit. Very interesting with good views from the walls and the different entrances like Mickelgate Bar, Bootham Bar, Monk Bar . Nice view of York Minster too. Not too busy.

Completed the entire length of the walls took between 1.5-2hrs walking at a good pace. We used a free map found near the portcullis along the way to guide us. In parts nearer the centre it got busier, but generally it was quite quiet. You can see some great views of York from the walls and enjoyable walk.

A thoroughly enjoyable walk round the city of York. Quite a few steps where the gaps in the walls are, as well as a few narrow stretches without a guard on the inside, so just be careful if you’re a bit unsteady on your feet. A unique experience seeing the sights from a decent vantage point. Took us just over 90 mins. Would do again if we’re back in York.
