Last few snickelways

Snickelway no 46 Hornpot-la-nether

We are now nearing the end of the snickelways. After feasegate, walk over st Sampson's square to a small opening near browns of york, called Nether Hornpot lane or Hornpot-la-nether in the book




It leads on the back swinegate and from there to the penultimate snickelway (Little stonegate)

Snickelway no 47 Little Stonegate 

This a super snickelway with lots of restaurants bars and cafes


Back onto stonegate and turn left on to coney street for the last snickelway recorded in the book for this 3.5 mile walk

Snickelway no 48 Beyond the screen


This, in my view, is a series of snickelways: the one leading passed the disused church ( st martins) down to the river front; the riverside walk passed city screen picture house; back to the street through the Revolution bar ( no longer called Orgasmic / maybe it did not live up to its old name?) and up a ginnel on the other side of st martins




We have now officially finished the walk. The book offers a last lap on map26, back down Coney street, up Lendal to Museum street, passed the Red house, heading towards the fabulous west front of York Minster and then High Petergate to finish the walk at Bootham bar where we started.

But I found another route with a snickelway not in the book.
