Layout

The street runs south-east from its junction with High Petergate, Duncombe Place and Precentor's Court, past a junction with Minster Gates, to the point where the road continues as Deangate, but Minster Yard itself becomes a footpath and turns north-east, until it meets College Street, at College Green. Finally, it turns north-west, running past a junction with Chapter House Street, past York Deanery at 1A, through a gate, to a dead-end section running alongside Dean's Park.
