Where do I need to take care in York?

There are areas of every city where you can feel less safe. If you are aware before you visit you wont find yourself caught by surprise. Always ask the locals as they know better than anyone.

Beware of the rivers, in York they are prone to flooding. Strong undercurrents run under the surface of the water, take extra care if walking along the river banks as some areas are not fenced off.

You are safest in bright, well lit and busy areas. Don’t walk alone in badly lit areas after dark.
