Welcome to the City Walls
We want everyone to be able to enjoy the historic York City Walls. Please be aware that due to the historic nature of the architecture, access can be challenging in certain areas.
Building Characteristics
Micklegate Bar is a historic building positioned in the city walls, and features uneven floors, narrow staircases and small spaces. We recommend visitors assess their own mobility requirements prior to visiting.
Accessibility Support
If you have specific accessibility requirements, please contact our team in advance of your visit. We are committed to making your experience as comfortable as possible within the constraints of our heritage site.
Planning Your Visit
Ground-level viewing is available for many parts of the walls, providing an excellent vantage point without the need to navigate steep historic stairs.
