City Walls partial closure notice

A section of the City Wall walkway between Fishergate Bar and Fishergate Postern will be closed due to conservation works from Monday 23 June to Friday 27 June.

Access gates will be locked during the closure period, with signs in place showing where you can rejoin the walkway.

Find our more about City Wall care and conservation including how our in-house Stonemason Team are carrying out conservation works at Bootham Bar from Monday 16 June, for up to 6 months.

Visit York's City Walls walkway, an elevated circular route around the city centre, which can be accessed on foot, for free, throughout the year.

York's historic city walls are a major feature of our historic environment and civic identity. There are significant remains of all principal periods of their development; the city walls make visible over 2,000 years of urban change in York.
