After viewing the York Railway Museum, we decided to explore the ancient cathedral city of York. After a short walk form the Railway Museum we came across the ancient Roman wall. There is an entrance staircase to the York wall and decided to explore it. Below are some photos I took,

We walked on the part of York wall for around 15 minutes until we came to end where exit near the Skeldergate Bridge over river Ouse. The water level was high due to the storms that landed in UK several days ago, and seen several families of ducks with their chicks enjoying the sunny weather.

After walking another 10 minutes we came across a magnificent view of Clifford's Tower, the keep of York Castle.

Entrance to this is not free, I think it cost £6 per adult ticket. From the top you can view the surrounding York city clearly.

After several hours of walking around the city we felt tired and decided to walk back to the car and go to the airbnb place to have a rest. On the way we come across several parks with blooming flowers as it was early spring.
After resting that night, next morning we decided to cut our journey short and head back home as it was started to spread Covid-19 virus in UK. After one week returning from York, UK government decided imposed the lockdown in UK. Although we did not manage to explore all the places in York, we are thinking going to revisit York again once everything get back to normal.
Enjoy!
