Over 1,000,000 people per year visit York's city walls, taking a trip back in time to over 1900 years ago. Built by the Romans, the walls have been restored and rebuilt as well as having extra sections added for various reasons and now have parts from all across the centuries. Originally built as a first defence, the focus is now on conservation and historical preservation.
