Anne Lister in York Walking Tour

29th May 25, 10:30am – 1:00pm

From the early 1800’s Anne visited York regularly. Join me as we follow in her footsteps visiting the city she loved. We’ll visit her friends, see where she shopped, where she partied, went to school, loved and lived. Meeting at Micklegate Bar, we will enter the city, just as Anne would have done as she clattered over the cobbles on the High Flyer. We will end in the beautiful and secret Holy Trinity Church in Micklegate. Not only a place very special to Anne, but also the location of filming for the BBC TV series Gentleman Jack

HAUNTED YORK

York is a city with a dark past, its history is rife with tales of guts, gore, torture and ghosts. The International Ghost Research Foundation once even declared York as the most haunted city in Europe due to its bloodstained history and over 500 hauntings within the ancient city walls.

Founded by Romans in 71AD the city’s violent and volatile history – including Viking invasions, the Norman Conquest and the Civil War – makes its sinister legacy easy to understand. Sometimes it seems as though a ghostly figure with a score to settle is in residence in just about every street or ginnel.

The North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR) is a heritage railway in North Yorkshire that runs through the stunnng landscape of the North Yorks Moors National Park. First opened in 1836 as the Whitby and Pickering Railway, the railway was planned in 1831 by George Stephenson as a means of opening up trade routes inland from the then important seaport of Whitby. The line between Grosmont and Rillington was closed in 1965 and the section between Grosmont and Pickering was reopened in 1973 by the North York Moors Historical Railway Trust Ltd. The preserved line is now a tourist attraction and has been awarded several industry accolades. Hop aboard one of the heritage trains at Pickering, also known as the 'Gateway to the Moors'. Only a 20 minute drive from our lodges.
