Unique expertise - both our guides have Ph.D. qualifications in scientific subjects

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.

Meeting Point

Our York Air Walk and York Earth Walk start at Micklegate Bar. We meet people inside the city walls, on the corner of Bar Street and Micklegate.

End Point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

What To Expect

1. 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

2. 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

3. Museum Gardens On our York Air Walk, we walk through York Museum Gardens, viewing the historic buildings in the gardens. 15 minutes

4. Monk Bar 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.

5. 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

6. 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. 15 minutes
