Bootham Bar is one of four main entrances to the city of York. It is the defensive bastion for the northern entrance or gateway and stands on the site of the old Roman fortress. It is also the oldest gateway of the four, with some of the stones dating back as far as the 11th century. Medieval travellers, through the hazardous Forest of Galtres, were aided on their way by the sentries who stood guard at Bootham Bar.
