About this experience
York's snickelways are the narrow cut-throughs between the main streets, and there are dozens of them. Most people walk the Shambles, take a photo and miss everything behind it.
This walk goes through the ones worth seeing, with the ghost stories that belong to each — told properly, with timing, rather than recited off a card.
Highlights
- The hidden alleys behind the Shambles
- Genuinely well-told ghost stories, not a script
- Minster views most visitors miss
- Ends in a fifteenth-century pub
