About This Tour
Gunpowder, Plot and Treason A Walking Tour Through York’s Darkest Legends Step into the shadows of York’s bloodstained past. From the birthplace of Guy Fawkes to the final cries at Clifford’s Tower, Gunpowder, Plot and Treason unearths the city’s most chilling tales of rebellion, betrayal, and forgotten heroes. Follow in the footsteps of criminals, martyrs, and monarchs — and discover the dark heartbeat that still echoes through York’s ancient streets. History is written by the victors — but on this tour, you’ll hear the whispers of those who dared to defy them.

Additional Information
Meeting Point
Come on into The Guy Fawkes Inn on High Petergate at 7pm. If you're early tell a member of staff that you're there for the tour, and they will take care of you until the tour begins. I'll be in the bar area, hopefully recognisable from my yellow coat and my pictures from this listing.
