Lovely woodland, nice spot for a stroll.

By the 1750s, mineral water spas were popular places to visit. York did not have mineral water springs, so the city council instead decided to commission a decorative wellhead over an existing well.

If you follow the small woodland path around the far northern edge of the Common, just next to South Moor Field, you will be rewarded with a stroll through a fabulous Silver Birch wood, and a huge number of mature Oak trees. This is a little off the beaten track through the centre of the Common, but the paths are easily navigable and not overgrown (even in Summer).

Remnants of RAF Riccall are clearly visible around this loop. The base has a rich history and served as a heavy bomber (Handley Page Halifax) operational conversion unit during the Second World War. Three runways were constructed to form an "A" shape, which allegedly had to be rebuilt after they started to subside and sink into the soft ground. The entire common is riddled with patches of concrete and asphalt that represent the remains of the taxiways and flight pan.

Heslington Tillmire is an open marshy grassland and Site of Special Scientific Interest located near Fulford. The grassland features an array of fen plants that provide important habitat to a number of bird species including pintail, lapwing and curlew.

Several historians of York mention Pikeing Well (also known as Lady Well and Spring Well) in the 18th and 19th centuries as one of the Georgian attractions of the city. It is associated with the promenade called New Walk which was laid out in 1732-4 for public use and entertainment. Initially the walk was named ‘The Long Walk’ but it became better known as ‘New Walk’ by which name it was popularly called.
