The walk will be delivered twice, the morning walk will start at 11am and the afternoon walk will start at 2pm, and they will each last approximately 2 hours.
The walks will start and finish at the Council for British Archaeology's office. The address is De Grey House, St Leonard's Place, York, YO1 7HE.
The event is free to attend but places will be limited to 20 people per tour so booking is essential.
The event will take place in all weathers so please come prepared, there will be some sections where the ground may be uneven so please wear appropriate footwear. If you have any mobility issues please let us know by contacting [email protected] in advance of the walk so we can ensure the walk is suitably paced. It will take place within the City Walls which are mostly pedestrianised but expect the need to use designated road crossings and encounter uneven surfaces and kerbs.
