GUY FAWKES INN, YORK

A HISTORIC INN IN THE HEART OF YORK – WHERE MY STORY BEGAN

Step inside the very place where I, Guy Fawkes, first drew breath, in the shadow of the mighty York Minster. This historic inn, rich with character and whispers of the past, offers thirteen en-suite chambers, each with modern comforts—though I dare say, more luxurious than what I once knew. Enjoy regional real ales, hearty British fare, and an atmosphere steeped in history.

WALK THE STREETS OF HISTORY – FOR FREE

Join our complimentary guided walking tour and tread the very streets I once knew. Over two hours, you’ll uncover York’s rich past, its secrets, and its stories—perhaps even mine. Tours depart daily, Friday to Wednesday, from just outside the inn.

Simply let our loyal hosts know when you book your stay or upon check-in, and prepare to step back in time.
