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!

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

  2. 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. :)

  5. 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,

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