Local Volunteers Caring for Local Greenways

York's Greenways are traffic-free paths for cyclists pedestrians and wheelchair users. They form part of the National Cycle Network and the Trans Pennine Trail and link the city centre with the surrounding countryside. Well surfaced and with gentle gradients, they are suitable for families and residents and visitors of all ages. They are havens for wildlife and biodiversity.

​

Come out and explore the Greenways on foot, by bike or wheelchair -

 

Cycle the Solar System Greenway, learn about the York - Selby path's past as a railway line to London, closed due to the creation of Europe's biggest coal mine.

 

Try the Foss Islands Greenway out to Osbaldwick and discover St Nicks Nature Reserve and Murton Park, home of the Yorkshire Museum of Farming.

​

Head to Beningborough across Rawcliffe Ings or out to Rufforth via Knapton and the new Community Forest.

​

Follow the Urban Green Corridor to Askham Bog and see the Murals under the Tadcaster Road (see Projects page)

 

Stop for refreshments along the way and enjoy getting out into the green... there's lots to explore!  (see the Maps page currently under reconstruction)
