About
York's snickelways are the narrow lanes and alleys that thread between its streets, and this walk from York AD Tours tells the city's story through them. A local guide leads you through passages most visitors never find, such as Bookbinder's Alley, Mad Alice Lane and Lady Peckett's Yard, with the history and characters behind each one.
