The Best York City Wall Walk Video You'll Ever See

[@julieschipplock9439]

What an interesting walk, wish we’d had time to do that, when we visited York.

[@raindog428]

Loved the video Rob..yr in fine form today😁I can imagine anybody that has a love of history,reading and exploring would be having a ball...ive missed a few vids I'll have to go back and do a binge watch.Yr doing a great job,lm enjoying looking at all the history.I bet yr tired after that circumnavigation xx

[@walkaboutwithrob]

@Adele Wall great to see ya here again and thanks for the kind comment. Not tired at all, fired up for more travels! Hope you liked the recent vids.

[@lorrywin32]

What a gorgeous city, so much amazing history. Thanks for the great video!

[@wendybrealey8368]

Saw some sections of wall I recognised. I am sure Cliffords Tower is much more interesting than our visit 20 years ago. Reminding me York needs to be a revisit. Gah - stop making me want to go see so much again on top of existing bucket list stuff. So much to see, so little time. I envy you your long exploratory visit! Great vlog again thanks.

[@DarcyDigs]

Your dry sense of humour is everything. Thanks for another wonderful (and somewhat eccentric) exploration of York! Very inspiring and I've learnt something.

[@walkaboutwithrob]

@darcydigs thanks! I had so much fun that day, mainly because I was walking in the opposite direction to everyone else.

[@DarcyDigs]

@@walkaboutwithrob Hah. I'm planning to walk the walls in September and understood it takes around 2hrs, may I ask why it took you far longer? Presumably you took a few detours along the way?

[@walkaboutwithrob]

@@DarcyDigs I'm easily distracted. I once pursued a cat across two suburbs because I was curious where it wanted to go, when I should have been going to work. But yeah, the town wall walk shouldn't take more than 2 or 3 hours.

[@DarcyDigs]

@@walkaboutwithrob You papped a cat! Wonderful. Thanks Rob, that's very helpful in terms of planning my limited time there.

[@walkaboutwithrob]

@@DarcyDigs Make sure you visit York Minster Cathedral. I think I made a video about that too. York is one of those places that I could have spent a year in to explore. I hope you'll make a video of your visit there. And don't forget the Roman remains under the pub

[@shellebelle53]

Those York Museum gardens were lovely. I enjoyed this one and the expected dry Aussie humour 👍

[@walkaboutwithrob]

@Shell yes they were quite stunning, and I only saw a relatively small part of them. Is that a new photo??

[@shellebelle53]

@WalkaboutWithRob the gardens were beautiful. Yeah new photo, I was told I looked stern in the other one, but I hate having photos taken so it's really hard to get a decent one

[@walkaboutwithrob]

@@shellebelle53 they're both very good photos. As for me all I can say is - thank heavens for photoshop! I use it a lot to make it appear I'm human.

[@shellebelle53]

@WalkaboutWithRob well thank you, kind Sir. I've always had an aversion to the camera. You don't need Photoshop from what I've seen in your videos, though.

[@walkaboutwithrob]

@@shellebelle53 aww thanks 😁

[@crossroadschronicles4647]

One of my favorite towns

[@1247rimini]

Love a city wall walk great views and a different perspective. I was shocked by the lack of railings in UK and Europe but as my tour director advised just don’t fall, I had to explain I’m from the nanny state of QLD Australia where yellow lines can be found on every possible hazard. 😂 thankful to say I never fell while travelling although I had the need to crawl to the viewing platform on Mt Pilatus, no rail 😯

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

LOL. They DO invite the stylish young ladies to remove their stiletto heels before stepping out onto the Schilthorn viewing platform though - but only if they want to. 😱

[@TheOneSoldierOfFortune]

Stayed in york in 2018 beautiful place...have some family there...Would love to live there.

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

Was waiting for La Vache to come sailing over the walls there!

[@WillNeviani]

Hey Rob. Great Vid. I searched York bar walls because I live here in the centre and heard that the Romans didn't build all of the walls on a group so i came to investigate. When i saw you i actually remember seeing you. I actually walked past you that day and thought that chap is vlogging! Totally random that i should find your content. I saw you messing with your camera outside the three legged mare pub near the minster and bootham bar. :)

[@walkaboutwithrob]

@user-rx6dh2dh9t That is totally cool and amazing! Heavens, such coincidences - and great memory too! Really glad you let me know. I'm so keen to return and live in England permanently.

[@WillNeviani]

@walkaboutwithrob yeah man totally. It's so strange I should stumble upon it. I remember thinking as I walked past that you might not be filming at that point but yeah totally remember seeing you. Lord knows where I was walking to! Likely the pub, haha. The weatherspoons where you had a pint (punch bowl) is literally 50 metres from where I live on Micklegate. I'm looking at the bar as we speak. It's safe and sound and as it was when you were here last. You did the city proud in your vlog!

[@walkaboutwithrob]

@@WillNeviani Aww thanks! So wish I was there now. It's stinking hot and humid here in Brisbane. York is incredible and I felt right at home there.

[@miatx6818]

For real i thought i’ve read New York

[@bobs209]

what cam are you using on this video and have you upgraded your cam since this video and what to please,thanks

[@walkaboutwithrob]

I used a DJI OSMO Action 1 for this video. I have now upgraded to the 4.

[@craigroaring]

4:50 Very strange thing to say. I would like to think he said or done something nasty to you to warrant that. I have long hair and am extremely socially anxious, and the overwhelming and persistent belief that people think badly of me is what keeps me from going out to join the world.

[@donttalkcrap]

Wow! Not sure why YOU got offended when he WASN'T EVEN TALKING ABOUT YOU! LOL! He was being funny! And it went r/whoosh straight over your head. It's called satire, you goose! I'm ugly AND I have long hair. I can at least cut my hair - and so can YOU! So why get your knickers in a knot about something you actually HAVE control over. *sigh* No wonder people call you a Snowflake. THAT's what you should be worried about. But you prefer to be a martyr and purposely make your own life difficult so you can garner sympathy from others. Well you're not getting it from me. Get over yourself and grow up.

[@AlphaGeekgirl]

Hahahaha... Poor you. I'm guessing you're not an Aussie then? Rob has a terrific and very dry sense of humour which obviously went straight over your head. Don't beat yourself up. Not everyone is blessed with one.

[@craigroaring]

@@AlphaGeekgirl 1. I am australian. At what point did being an asshole equate to being australian? 2. I think i have a good sense of humour. That's why i didn't find the joke funny. Liking lame jokes doesn't give the person a sense of humour. Quite the opposite. Understanding quality in humour is much preferable to laughing at any old attempt at a joke. The shit comedians must love you!

[@richardpearson9337]

Get rid of your false ideas about yourself mate.

[@craigroaring]

@@donttalkcrap Holy shit, that was an even greater over-reaction than my initial over-reaction. I can't help but wonder why you would take such exception to my criticism. It wasn't aimed at you, was it?
