Feet First Walking

 

We started at Micklegate Bar, which was a short walk from our well-heated and un-sound-proofed hotel.

 

 

We turned right and followed the walls in a clockwise direction.

 

Near to the station there was a lovely 'wild' flower display on the embankment.

 

Station Road, crossing the River Ouse.

 

The gate house on the bridge had been turned into a cafe!

 

The display shows the depth the original Roman wall would have been.

 

A fine view of the Minster from the Lord Mayor's Walk.

 

A narrow section of the wall by Monkgate.

 

The steps down to the street at Monk Bar.

 

A steep climb up to Clifford's Tower was rewarded by free entry thanks to our CSSC membership. Very impressive and well worth a visit.

 

Another 'Sophie' cafe, on the Skeldergate Bridge. Sophie clearly has a monopoly on the situation..

 

We climbed up back onto the wall from Bishopgate Street.

 

On the home-straight, heading back to Micklegate Bar.
