Overview

Take to the skies on the York Air Walk, our aerial stroll through the city's ancient, natural and scientific history. Join our expert guides, Dr Simon Rogerson and Dr Liam Herringshaw, as they guide you around the city's mediaeval walls, taking in the sights and sounds (and smells!) that other walks miss. In Simon and Liam's company you'll meet a pioneering weather forecaster, a demon stargazer, and the local lad who gassed Queen Victoria. On the York Air Walk, the sky's the limit! We are also happy to offer the York Air Walk as a private tour.

Itinerary

  • York City Walls

    On our York Air Walk, we climb up to the walls at Micklegate Bar, and follow them round to Lendal Bridge. Later on, we rejoin the city walls at Bootham Bar, walking round them to Monk Bar.

    30 minutes

  • All Saints Church

    We don't go into the church here, but in North Street Gardens we will tell the story of one of its most famous parishioners, a local lad who went on to gas Queen Victoria.

    10 minutes

  • Museum Gardens

    On our York Air Walk, we walk through York Museum Gardens, viewing the historic buildings in the gardens.

    15 minutes

  • Monk Bar (Pass By)

    Having walked the York City Walls from Bootham Bar, enjoying great views of York Minster, Dean's Park, and Gray's Court, we will descend back to street level at Monk Bar.

  • Treasurer's House

    On Chapter House Street, in the shadow of York Minster, we will stop outside the Treasurer's House to tell the extraordinary and tragic tale of York's demon stargazer.

    10 minutes

  • York Minster

    In our York Air Walk, we view the Minster from the city walls as we walk from Bootham Bar to Monk Bar, before descending the walls to finish the walk beneath the extraordinary East Window of the Minster, on College Street.

Memorable and Engaging

Published on Jun, 2024

I had so much fun on the York air walk! Being able to explore the city from the walls was beautiful, and gave me a different view than I had from the ground. The guide was an excellent storyteller, and encouraged questions--he even had trivia questions with a prize! I really loved the detail and the thought that was put into creating a tour based around the theme of air. I saw a lot of things I might have overlooked, and had an absolutely amazing time! This is a really special way to get to know the city of York.

Outstanding tour of York

Published on May, 2023

Our tour guide Simon was full of passion about his knowledge of the history of York. So many interesting facts we learned along the way. This was a fantastic tour that we would highly recommend to anyone of any age. Super value for money.

Lot of local knowledge
