Pope's Head Alley
There are 47 'snickelways' in York (snickets, ginnels, alleys etc.). Most of them are difficult to find, wonderfully named ('Black Horse Passage', 'Mad Alice Lane', for example) and have a traditional lamp to light the way. The book 'A walk around the Snickelways of York' guides you through the ancient passageways: an excellent 'alternative' guide to York (and a very alternative experience!).
