My first stop in England, even before visiting London, was the city of York. The walled city was a wonderful experience for my wife and I. We have both lived our entire lives in the American city of New York and wanted to see the place that we were named after. The Shambles market was cute but the Christmas markets were spectacular. Walking the entire perimeter of the town atop the medieval ramparts were a highlight of the trip. That leisurely stroll took us about 4 hours to complete while stopping to see many sights. If you are visiting England and have time to visit a second city in addition to London, I recommend York.

A relatively unremarkable gate, but one that has a great deal of history attached to it as one of the terminal defensive points of the York City Wall.

This tower was just across the road from where we were staying and gave us a starting point to walk along the wall. It was residents weekend, so the tower was open, which didn’t happen very often, so we had a chance to look inside. There was a detailed background to the history of who invaded York throughout history and a medieval toilet, it was worth it.

This tower is relatively new, only ~500 years old!
I was fortunate to visit when it was opened by Volunteers. They were very helpful and enriched the experience.
Steep Stairs are Wholely carved from a 6 foot wall.
Good exhibits within.
Highly recommended

We visited Fishergate Postern Tower during our walk around the city walls of York, the tower would have loomed over the walls and given defenders an elevated defensive position should the adjacent sections of wall become occupied by attackers. The tower did not appear to be open on the day of our visit (Sunday in September), but there is are some information boards at street level to read. It is possible to join the city wall walk here in the anticlockwise direction only, there being no section of walkable wall between here and Baile Hill.
An information board is available here with text and pictures and this is also supplied with a QR code which you can scan with your smart phone for additional information.

We happened to be in York on 2nd July one of the dates when the Fisher gate tower is open to the public. It is manned by the York Walls Trust on certain weekends. The two volunteer staff on the day we were there ( an overseas student outside and an older man who led the tour on the inside of the tower) and both were excellent. I have walked the York walls many times but have never been in the Tower before. It has been rennovated in recent years and now holds an exhibition over 3 levels. Be warned the stairs are very narrow and the levels can only be accessed by this means. There is a manual system to prevent viistors passing on the stairs.
The museum was informative and the exhibitions facilitated by the self guide cards were well worth the visit. A rare York gem in a city so well provided with historic masterpieces.

The Fishergate Postern Gate is a wonderful looking tower I passed every day on our weeks holiday in the historic Roman walled city of York.
As we were staying in the Travelodge across the road from Fishergate Postern Gate ,our room looked over to it actually,it's an historic tower ,three storeys high ,great stonework ,it's such an iconic tower and is most definitely a great starting point to explore the wonderful Roman walls ,it's easy to locate along Piccadilly and well worth checking out.

The fishergate tower is where my navigation around the city walls began although I think this led me in the wrong direction and out of order but I was super excited nevertheless. Fishergate Tower was built at the point where the city walls meet the river Foss. The tower itself is a small entrance with a pointed archway, the only remaining one left in the city. Follow the wall along to reach fishergate bar.

This is one of the several towers on the old Wall of York.
We went past the tower while strolling on the Wall.

York is justifiably famous for its beautiful walls and towers and Fishergate Postern Tower is one of the most iconic.
It's a three storey tower,stunning stonework, the views afforded from the tower are really good and the sections of walls leading to the tower are well preserved, I visited here on a Thursday afternoon, lashing ot down with rain,took some photos and then headed over to The Masons Arns Pub.
A beautiful tower,most definitely well worth checking out if your planning a holiday to York.
Easy to locate along Piccadilly.
