The Yorkshire Wall is nearly 5 kilometers long, almost encircling the Old City of Yorkshire. It was first built by the Romans. Most of the remaining walls were rebuilt from the 12th to the 14th centuries. It is the longest and best preserved medieval wall in Britain. The gates of the walls are called "Bar". The large gates include Bootham Bar in the north, Micklegate Bar in the southwest, Monk Bar in the northeast and Walmgate Bar in the southeast. The Old Wall of York is the longest and most complete wall in England. You can see it when you leave the railway station. You can walk through the wall for 10 minutes to the Yorkshire Cathedral. If you don't have enough time to visit, you can only walk for a short period of time. There are still more entrances and exits. There are also many entrances and exits near the cathedral. If you have plenty of time, you can walk around the city wall and visit York on the city wall. It's also very tasty. The wall is less than ten meters high and can be accessed free of charge. There was nobody on the wall. Looking out from one battlement after another, there are endless streets.

    There is a round arched entrance at the gate that says the entrance to the York City Wall, no charge. The city wall is centered on York Cathedral ⛪️, we have probably spent an hour around the city wall, and after going up, we have to go all the way to the end, we can go down, it takes a little physical strength, if there are young children, we will know it clearly. The road along the city wall is a little narrow, and if someone comes on, you must make way before you can continue. But the scenery on the city wall is very beautiful, and it is more beautiful like a fairy tale. The York wall, which has existed since Roman times, is still quite intact, and such a powerful historical monument must of course step on it!

    We had only two nights in York, and due to the late train, we had only limited time to visit the city. York retains a large number of ancient buildings, such as the York City Wall, which was built during the Roman reign for 5 kilometers, and its center is the York Cathedral. Walking a section of the old city wall is what the general York trip will do. You can enjoy the scenery of York on the wall, especially the majestic York Cathedral. The weather was very good on this day, the blue sky and white clouds, very suitable for outdoor walking, that is, the wind in York is too strong, blowing a little headache.

    York city walls is the first place we visited in our York trip. Built by the Romans in medieval period, this structure still stays so strong and rigid. This 2 miles long structure is the longest city wall of England.

    Every child who watches English plays knows the importance of York in history. London is the same as UK today. Historic cities are bound to have vicissitudes of life. Yorke also experienced the Vikings, the Roman era, once prosperous. I like York Railway Station very much, not only because he is in the North transportation center, but also because of his building. You can enjoy the magnificent view of York Cathedral from Micklegate Bar at the railway station to the wall. Walking on the wall, I always feel that I am walking between Xi'an and York. There are countless bars in Yorke. It is said that one day, one year can't finish shopping. Yorke has countless delicious restaurants, national cuisine, and dark British cuisine that people don't want to describe.

    In the evening, we arrived at Yorkshire, outside the hotel is the Yorkshire Wall, so we went up to the wall to view and move around. The George Catholic Church in the city could be seen on the wall. We walked around the wall for half a circle without knowing it. We were ready to go around the city. The city wall was broken to the Uss River and the bridge was connected. The ruins of the original Roman wall and the Yorkshire Cathedral could be seen on the wall. We reached the Fortress of Bootham Bar, No. It was dark when the evening prayer was over. The church lights were on. After counting, it took about two hours to walk on the wall. Here are some gates
