Join me for a walk around the centre of Ripon, the third-smallest city in England! However, what Ripon lacks in size, it more than makes up for in beauty and historical value, with a fascinating history dating back well over 1,000 years. It may feel like a small town, but Ripon is without doubt one of England's great cities!

On our walk around Ripon, we pass a number of interesting landmarks, including Ripon Cathedral, The Old Deanery, The Old Courthouse, Kirkgate, The Royal Oak Pub, Market Place, Cabmen's Shelter, Ripon Obelisk, Ripon Town Hall, The Wakeman's House, Lavender Alley, the Victorian Workhouse Museum, Allhallowgate Methodist Church, and the Prison & Police Museum.
