Pubs Galore >> Crawls >> York - interiors of historical interest

Title: York - interiors of historical interest
Creator: Will Larter

Description:
These twelve pubs (plus the Falcon on Micklegate, which is now a circuit bar called Rumours) were identified by York Pub Conservation Group as having interiors of historical interest, in a leaflet published in 1995. Although some have been changed a little since then, most are still listed on either the National Inventory or the Yorkshire Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors.

Starting and finishing at York station, this crawl involves about six miles of walking; with a modest half in each, it should be possible to complete in about six to seven hours. All 12 pubs have good quality real ale. If time allows before the train, a visit to the York Tap completes a splendid day.
