York city walls route and history guide | Great British Life

Sally Hauser Fishergate Postern Tower - Credit: @sharpstickfilms Friends of York Walls volunteer Sally Hauser shares all the insider information you need to know about one of Yorkshire’s most prominent historical treasures. There’s a common saying in York: ‘the streets are gates, the gates are bars and the bars are pubs’. No visit to the city is complete without a wander round the ramparts encircling it. But York’s walls are not just for the tourists. Many residents use them on a daily basis to commute, take exercise or simply soak up the ambience that living so close to almost 2,000 years of history offers.

Castle Gateway plans are 'all about money over conservation'

It does seem to be all about money over conservation. When the public consultations were going on about Castle Gateway, many residents made recommendations about meandering Piccadilly Road so that cars would go down slower, or else putting cycle tracks either side of the road to make it safer for cyclists, and about making the bridge across the Foss an attractive feature to tie in with the Castle Museum, the Women’s Prison and the lovely waterwheel in the grounds of the Castle Museum. You would think that the planners and architects would look at the buildings around the Castle Mills carpark (not Ryedale House, which is an eyesore) which have lovely colour stone work and don’t look imposing and design something that was in keeping with Clifford’s Tower, the walls, Fishergate Postern etc.
