-The Four Towers Challenge-
Since 2014 we have set out into York each Summer to take part in The Four Towers Challenge, a 9 venue pub crawl which follows York’s City walls. Starting in the early afternoon and aiming to cover all our chosen pubs before the walls close at sunset.
Each pub is selected based upon its proximity to the City Walls and their access points. Each year we lay out a slightly different route to keep things interesting and allow us to visit more pubs.
Others are always welcome to take part with us throughout the day, but of course this challenge can be attempted at any time. We do urge though that you take it easy with sensible drinking and be careful not to fall off the walls!

We also take up the challenge in memory of our good friend Andy Watson who started reviewing with us right back when we founded Within the Walls, but sadly after 30 years of battling against Kidney failure passed away in 2012, we do the Four Towers Challenge close to his Birthday each year and raise a glass to him.
The opening times for the walls varies depending on the month, so if you plan to undertake the challenge at any other time it’s worth checking them out here: York City Walls Opening Times
