York is a superb example of a walkable city. You can certainly spend an entire day meandering through the city, stopping in the various shops, and still reserve another day for the Minster, Jorvik Viking Centre, York Castle Museum, and one or two other historic sites and museums. Because it is relatively compact and the train station so near, York makes for an ideal weekend getaway--although it will tempt you to tarry longer.
