Why go
The wall makes the relationship between the compact trading town and its surroundings easy to read. Comparing gates, towers and the surviving moat spaces reveals a different scale from the lanes inside. Treat this as a ground-level walk beside the defences; the recommendation does not imply access along the wall top.
What to look for
- Medieval gates and defensive towers
- Open moat spaces outside the town
- The changing outline of the walled town
Useful to know
- Start near Söderport and choose a ground-level section beside the wall; the full circuit is a separate walk.
