Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to walk along all the city walls. But anyway, I was on some of them. That’s the best landmark after the York Minster, in my opinion. Speaking of York Minster, you can see it from the city walls. The walls give you a chance to explore the city and also dive into York’s history. There are text boards where you can read about the history of these walls.

A scenic 4km walk high above the city, with stunning views and lots of history; plus it's free! Would highly recommend walking this route.
