Turning right at the end of the Ouse Bridge along the riverside footpath,
we pass the Viking Hotel and the peaceful Joseph Rowntree Gardens, presented to the city in 1959 by the local chocolate manufacturer.
At the end of the footpath we join North Street, where a narrow pavement on the other side of the road leads to the entrance of All Saints Church. A little way past the church notice the three renovated fifteenth century cottages to your left. |
The old building with the carved cornerpost is all that remains of a Dominican Friary which stood here between 1228 and 1539. Reaching end of North Street we turn left up Tanner Row then right along Rougier Street to the base of Lendal Bridge. To your right, alongside the river is the site of a Roman temple erected in 180AD.
We cross Lendal Bridge past the former toll-house and arrive at Lendal Tower before continuing up Museum Street to the entrance of the Museum Gardens and the end of our tour.
