Walmgate Bar in York
About
Walmgate Bar offers a journey through time, showcasing history from the 12th century with its meticulously preserved architecture. Walking through the oldest remaining gateway in York, you'll be greeted by the impressive barbican walls from the 14th century and the formidable original portcullis. With its wooden gates from the 15th century, it stands as a testament to the craftsmanship of multiple eras, with a house uniquely added during Elizabethan times. This site, the only one in York with an intact barbican, tells stories with musket ball holes echoing through its ancient stones. From the roof terrace, visitors can soak in breathtaking views. After exploring, unwind in the on-site coffee shop, where a quaint and quirky atmosphere complements the delightful selection of cakes and a perfectly brewed pot of tea.

夕阳下 可以在老城墙漫步,这是我非常推荐了解或者说走进约克的一个方式吧。
