"An exceptionally well-sequenced, compact walking pub crawl through historic central York with realistic strolling times."
Pro Tip: York city centre within the medieval bar walls is entirely walkable and heavily pedestrianised; avoid taking taxis between these venues as winding snickelways make walking significantly quicker.
