The street runs south-west, from Bootham, down to the River Ouse.

St Olave's House is a historic building on Marygate, immediately north of the city centre of York in England. The building's origins lie in the early 17th century, but the oldest parts of the current building date from the later part of the century. In the late 18th century, a separate building was erected behind the left-hand part of the building, which in the early 19th century was joined to St Olave's House, and incorporated into the building, with a chimney and bay window added. In about 1900, the front to Marygate was rebuilt. The house was Grade II listed in 1997. It was sold for £1,450,000 in 2019, for £2,250,000 in 2021, and placed on the market for £2.75 million in 2023. At the time, it was marketed as "York's best address", with an unusually large plot for its location, six bedrooms, and a walled garden.The house is built of brick, painted at the front, with the front roof being slate while the other roofs are pantile. It is of two storeys, with an attic, the front having a shallow porch, a two-storey bay window to the left, timber eaves with ceramic tiles depicted rosettes with leaves, and two dormer windows. The back of the north wing has an original gable, with a single-storey modern extension in front. Inside, most fittings are from the 18th and 19th centuries. The front right room includes part of the original fireplace, and the attic staircase is late 17th century, probably originally having been the main staircase.A two-storey octagonal gazebo lies north-west of the house, originally in its garden, but now in the garden of 6 Marygate Lane. It was built in the mid 19th century of Magnesian Limestone, with a slate roof and timber finial. The windows were replaced in the 20th century, and it was Grade II listed in 1983.

The Garth is a historic building on Marygate, immediately north of the city centre of York, in England. The building was constructed in 1705, as the Grey Coat School, a charity school for girls. It accommodated up to 40 girls, who were fed, clothed and housed, and trained for domestic service. The school moved to Monkgate in 1784. In the late 19th century, the building was partly reconstructed, with many of the windows relocated. The building was later divided into flats, with many of the larger rooms subdivided. The north-west end of the building is now a separate property, known as "Little Garth", and a small part of the building has been incorporated into the neighbouring St Mary's Cottage. The building was Grade II listed in 1971. The building has an L-shaped plan. The central part of the building is three storeys high, while the right hand wing is three storeys with an attic, and the left hand wing is two storeys with an attic. The building is constructed of brick, with a pantiled roof. The windows are in a variety of styles, and include a large oriel window in the centre of the first floor, and oculus windows to the attics. Above one of the doors to Marygate is part of a carved bargeboard, which is said to date from 1635 and have been relocated from a house on High Ousegate. The facade on Marygate Lane retains some original windows, and the left-hand facade has an original entrance door. No early features survive inside the building.

The Minster Inn is a pub on Marygate, immediately north of the city centre of York, in England. The pub was first mentioned in 1823, at which time it was located in a building on the south-east side of Marygate. Although it was later renamed the Gardener's Arms, in the mid-1880s, it became the Minster Inn again. By 1902, it was owned by the Tadcaster Tower Brewery, which decided to relocate it to a new building, opposite the original site, on the north-west side of the street. The new building was designed by Samuel Needham, and it opened in 1903. It is a small pub, based around a through corridor, and with four equally sized rooms, two on each side of the corridor. Although the room at the rear right is a later conversion, the original layout otherwise survives, as do the original windows, doors and tiles. The two left-hand rooms retain their original bench seating and bell-pushes, originally used to call for service. The Campaign for Real Ale describes the pub as having "rare intactness" for its date, and it appears on the organisation's Yorkshire Regional Inventory of Historial Pub Interiors. In 2009, it submitted the pub for listing, but this was not achieved. The Yorkshire Post notes that it has a fire in winter, and a small courtyard.

The York Museum Gardens are botanic gardens in the centre of York, England, beside the River Ouse. They cover an area of 10 acres (4.0 ha) of the former grounds of St Mary's Abbey, and were created in the 1830s by the Yorkshire Philosophical Society along with the Yorkshire Museum which they contain. The gardens are held in trust by the City of York Council and are managed by the York Museums Trust. They were designed in a gardenesque style by landscape architect Sir John Murray Naysmith, and contain a variety of species of plants, trees and birds. Admission is free. A variety of events take place in the gardens, such as open-air theatre performances and festival activities. There are several historic buildings in the gardens. They contain the remains of the west corner of the Roman fort of Eboracum, including the Multangular Tower and parts of the Roman walls. In the same area there is also the Anglian Tower, which was probably built into the remains of a late Roman period fortress. During the Middle Ages, the tower was expanded and the Roman walls were incorporated into York's city walls. Most of the other buildings dating from the Middle Ages are associated with St Mary's Abbey, including the ruins of the abbey church, the Hospitium, the lodge and part of the surviving precinct wall. The remains of St. Leonard's Hospital chapel and undercroft are on the east side of the gardens. The Yorkshire Philosophical Society constructed several buildings in the gardens during the 19th and early 20th century, including the Yorkshire Museum and its octagonal observatory. The museum houses four permanent collections, covering biology, geology, archaeology and astronomy.
