Evenings in York are about two things. Eating and drinking or walking tours. The most common tours are the ghost walks and there are lots to choose from, but there are plenty of other options too. The Harry Potter Walk, The Witches & History Walk & the Photography Walk are just some of the options. We took a ghost walk which was led by an excellent guide who looked and played the part and over the course of an hour introduced us to 3 ghosts in the major tourist streets of York. Here are some of the main regular walking tours in York – we’d recommend booking in advance, but for some you can just turn up at the meeting point:
The Original Ghost Walk of York – Explore the history, mystery and folklore of York. 8pm from the Kings Arms, Ouse Bridge. Call 07825 618 123 for more information.
