Take the kids to visit Micklegate Bar – the Royal gateway to the city of York – before it closes for the winter season. Discover 2,000-year stories involving battles, imprisonment and near destruction of York’s City walls!
Learn about the characters whose stories are intertwined with Micklegate Bar: a princess, a Royalist in the English Civil War and an early 20th-century policeman who made the gatehouse his home.
As you make your way up to the very top floor of this historic building (over 700 years old!) you can discover a map of York’s city walls, a flyover video over the city and other activities to entertain the little ones.
Plus, Micklegate Bar is the perfect place to start your Autumnal walk around the York city walls, a short walk from York train station.
