The Majestic Fishergate Postern Tower: A Glimpse into York's Rich History

Getting There

• Car

  From anywhere in Yorkshire, head towards the A64 road towards York. If you are coming from Leeds, follow the A64 for approximately 25 miles until you reach the outskirts of York. As you approach York, take the exit for the A1036 (York South) which will lead you into the city. Continue on the A1036 and follow the signs for the city center. Once in the city center, follow signs for 'Piccadilly'. There is limited parking available around Piccadilly, so be prepared to find a nearby car park or on-street parking, which may incur a fee.

• Train

  If you are traveling by train, take a train to York Station from your nearest major station (e.g., Leeds, Manchester). Upon arrival at York Station, exit the station and head towards the city center. It is about a 15-minute walk (approximately 0.7 miles) to Fishergate Postern Tower. Head down Station Road, turn left onto George Hudson Street, and continue onto Toft Green. Follow the road as it bends to the right into Piccadilly. The tower will be on your left. This walk is free of charge.

• Bus

  For those using public transport, check local bus services that operate to York city center. Look for services that stop at Piccadilly or nearby streets. Once you disembark, follow the signs to Fishergate Postern Tower, which should be within a short walking distance. Be sure to check the bus schedules as they may vary, and you may need to pay for a bus ticket, which typically costs around £2-£4 depending on your starting point.
