The city of York boasts some of the best city walls in the UK. Mainly medieval, they are set into earthen ramparts. There is a section of the walls in Museum Gardens which is Roman in origin, with medieval walling on the top. They can be walked in a circuit, this takes about two hours, but longer if you stop off at attractions along the way. Parts of the wall walks are open one one side in places so small children need to be supervised, and getting pushchairs up there is difficult. With an older child though they make a great place to visit as the views are fantastic and the walkways are constantly changing to provide variety to the pedestrian.
