Additional Tours

YorkWalks also runs a number of other tours to places not open to the public. Visit medieval churches, a little known Guildhall, a hermit’s cell and hidden Georgian and medieval interiors. Tours include:

Medieval Stained Glass
An expert guided tour of the finest Medieval stained glass of York's parish churches, some in quiet backwaters of the city. There is also the chance to visit a hidden medieval hermit's cell. York has more medieval stained glass than any other town or city in Britain and this tour shows you a selection of the finest and most unique.

King's Manor
A unique chance to visit this one-time royal palace, see its former state apartments and cellars not open to the public, and hear its turbulent history. It has variously been an Abbot's residence, a royal palace visited by Henry VIII, James I and Charles I, a girls’ boarding school (where Anne Lister of Shibden hall had her first romantic attachment), a school for blind children, and is currently part of the University of York, housing the Department of Archaeology and other centres.
