Fortified York

We spent a couple of days in York on a recent trip to the UK. I didn’t know much about York, other than it is home to York Minster Cathedral. The cathedral was the impressive, imposing structure I expected it to be. But, more impressive were the walls that enclose the city and the gates that give access.

The walls have been wonderfully preserved, and you can walk along the top of a large section of them. It was a novel way to see the city.
