Starts at Parliament Street

Free admission

No booking required

Wheelchair accessible

Giggle your way through York’s most ridiculously named streets on the family-friendly Snickleways and Silly Street Names Trail.

From the little-known Little Peculiar Lane to the world-famous Shambles and the tongue-twisting Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate, uncover hidden gems, have a go at silly activities and maybe even pick up a historic fact or two along the way (don’t tell the kids!).

To discover York’s hidden corners on this self-guided trail, simply download a map or pick one up from the Visit York Information Centre, 21 Parliament Street.            `

The Snickleways and Silly Street Names Trail is presented by Little Vikings.
