High Petergate

Petergate runs from King's Square (site of the south east gate of the Roman fort) to Bootham Bar (site of the north west gate of the Roman fort). It lies approximately on the via principalis of the fort, deviating from it likely to skirt ruins of the fort.

Ahead through the Bootham Bar is Petergate. Bear right to steps onto the Bar Walls going clockwise to Monk Bar. Turn right into St. Leonard's Place.
