Walking in York

Walks inside the walls and out to the Knavesmire

Most requests come from the residential ring outside the centre: Heworth to the east, Clifton to the north, Holgate west, and Fulford with Bishopthorpe down the Ouse. Riverside paths and the Knavesmire give you off-lead space without driving anywhere. University of York term dates add staff and student demand on the Fulford side, and tourist-season travel stacks weekend cover requests on top of the weekday regulars.
