  • Around Five Kilometres/Three Miles) Will Take Approximately 90 Minutes, Or a Further 40 Minutes If You Choose to Do the Full Racecourse Circuit
    This walk (around five kilometres/three miles) will take approximately 90 minutes, or a further 40 minutes if you choose to do the full racecourse circuit. It explores the southern stretch of the River Ouse in York. The commentary considers the impact of the river on the development of the City, the redevelopment of the iconic Terry’s Chocolate Works, and the importance of horse racing. It is full of variety, and includes elements of geography and geology as well as much about the history of the area. We have designed the walk to start at the Millennium Bridge, on the west side of the River Ouse, but you can start it at any point. The starting point is easily reached from the city centre on foot or bicycle, or the 11, 21 and 26 buses travel from the railway station along Bishopthorpe Road. If coming by car, you can park free on Campleshon Road or Knavesmire Road. For some background, follow this link for the Ordnance Survey map published in 1853 (https://maps.nls.uk/view/102344815) you will see that this area was almost all fields at this time. Then look at the Ordnance Survey map published in 1932 (https://maps.nls.uk/view/100945733) where you will see many changes. Perhaps the best place for a drink and something to eat is the Winning Post on Bishopthorpe Road (just a couple of hundred metres north of the junction with Campleshon Road). This walk has created by John Stevens for Clements Hall Local History Group. PLEASE NOTE This walk is unsuitable for wheelchair users and those with mobility problems, as it involves stiles, sometimes wet and/or muddy patches, and ducking under the racecourse rails.

  • St Valentine's Day Romantic Walk
    ROMANTIC YORK Love stories, old and new, from the city of York, some passionate, some romantic and some tempestuous! Devised by Lynn Harper. St Valentine St Valentine; there may have been two St Valentines, one a Roman priest martyred under the Emperor Claudius in the mid 1st C AD on the Flaminian way near Rome, and the other a Bishop martyred by beheading in Rome in the 3rd C AD, but whose bones were taken to his see at Terni. But some say they are one and the same person! His relics are said to be in the Carmelite Monastery in Dublin, while others say his bones were found in a cardboard box on top of a wardrobe in the Gorbals in Glasgow and now kept by Franciscan Friars. His Festival 14th February corresponds with the Roman fertility festival of Lupercalia (dedicated to Juno and Pan; Lupus is Latin for wolf) where young men dressed up in wolf skins drew lots for girls. The Festival took place on the spot where Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome, were found being suckled by a She-Wolf. There is also legend that birds choose their mates on 14th February. Whatever the origin, this date has become inextricably entwined with romantic love. York Love Songs By Anthony Dunn from St Peters School. ‘They fined me a hundred pounds for a handful of daffodils I took them from around the City walls So don’t ever say never buy you flowers’! Cartimandua and Venutius Cartimandua was queen of the Brigantes, a confederacy of tribes in Northern Britain, and co-operated with the invading Romans in 71 AD.
