Find out why there is a statue in York to one of the greatest Emperors in the Roman Empire.

Sometimes said to be the most attractive street in York, Stonegate is as pleasing on the eye as its history is on the ears. One of the more famous people born here was the infamous Guy Fawkes who we still remember today on the 5th November when he tried to blow up Parliament.

2,000 years ago you’d have been standing on the Roman Via Principalis. Today Petergate is one of the most beautiful streets in York and home to one of the most famous views in Britain.

Your chance to do what we’ve all done at one time or the other, walk on the City Walls from Bootham Bar to Micklegate Bar
