A City Built of Wood - a walking tour of medieval York

  • Bedern Hall York YO1 7AL (map)

Bedern Hall has a magnificent Scissor beamed roof mainly surviving from the 14th Century.
Medieval and Tudor York was a city built in wood — a place where oak beams creaked, jettied upper floors leaned over narrow lanes, and everyday life unfolded inside frames that craftsmen shaped by hand. On this walk, we’ll step into that world. In a short walk around the city centre, you’ll meet some of York’s finest surviving timber framed buildings. And some of the greatest treasures are hidden in plain sight – buildings you might have walked past many times. Along the way, we’ll uncover who lived in these buildings, how they were made, and how these remarkable structures survived and evolved over time.

The tour will start and end at Bedern Hall and will last approx 90 mins covering 1.5 miles. Nothing too strenuous!
