War Memorial Gardens

York's Main Memorial.

Seen from the riverside walk, the entrance is off Leeman Road.

'Opened in 1925, this is the city's principal memorial and hosts the annual Service of Remembrance in the presence of the Lord Mayor and other Civic dignitaries. The garden is open to the public all day every day for quiet contemplation and reflection. A memorial to those involved in the Korean War and a universal memorial to peace have been subsequently added.'
