Special Walks

In addition to our regular walks we also offer a programme of special walks on selected dates between January 22nd and December 2nd.

Walks start at the Museum Gardens Gates on Museum Street, just North of Lendal Bridge and last between 1.5 and 2 hours.

See our PRINTABLE MAP for directions or view our location on a GOOGLE MAP.

Yorkwalk is right next to the Park & Ride stop from Rawcliffe Bar; 5 minutes from bus stops in Exhibition Square and Rougier St; 10 minutes walk from York Railway station or from the long-stay car park in Marygate.

All walks guaranteed departures (Minimum group size 2), come rain or shine! (While every effort is made to operate the walks as advertised, it may be necessary occasionally to alter their content due to adverse weather or closure of historic buildings).

Bookings are not necessary for individuals or small groups wishing to join any of our public walks - just turn up on the day. Larger groups (10+) wishing to join regular public walks should pre-book if possible and this will give you a discounted price.

If you do wish to book or have any queries please see below for our contact details.

Please refer to our prices page for details of charges.
