Peaceful Spot by the City Walls

Can any Yorkies out there guess where these benches are? They're pretty hidden away and off the beaten track. A photo of the view they overlook is coming up tomorrow.

That's part of York's medieval city walls in the background, with the luxury of a railing to make people walking around it feel safer. Not all parts have railings, but I think those bits are mainly where there's a grassy landing on the other side!

Bar Walls, between Foss Islands and Monk Bar is my guess.

You know me and old stone. :) I like this shady little spot!

Nice to see you back, though it will take me some time to get used to calling you Christina rather than Ruby. :)

The back of treasurers house where they have the herb garden?

Looks like a fine place for a rest and a book.

Helen, yes indeed, it is in that area, at the back of the Quilt Museum.

Mike, not far from there, just a bit further along the walls,

These are nice. Nothing better than a bench under a leafy tree to aide the people-watching.

Oooh, the city wall - how lovely. I liked the bits without the railings - made me feel brave!
