A Walk around York Walls.  Speaker Karen Adams

Karen invites you to join her in a walk around York walls whilst sitting rather than walking. Take a walk around the 2.5 miles of ancient walls and discover the history of these defences . You will find out about the Roman Fortress, Colonia walls and the walls of the Medieval period and Victorian restoration. You will also have a look at some of the buildings on your walk.

Join us us in this fascinating, stressless view of York and its walls from your chair.

We look forward to meeting you.
