Along the main road at the top of our terrace, called Bootham, a collection of mainly Georgian and early Victorian large town houses, once described by historian Pevsner as possibly the finest street in York. Along Marygate lane about 200 yards and into Marygate - opposite you is St. Olaves church and next to that are the impressive gas lit wrought iron gates leading you into the Yorkshire Museum Gardens, where 2 or 3 different routes will take you through and leave you in the city centre. 200 yards along here will bring you to the handsome cast iron arched Lendal bridge.
Steps lead up to street level and the city centre.
