You could read Eric Gee's 1983 "Bishopthorpe Palace: An Architectural History", but Eric never had the tinterweb in 1983. We do >>> https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1166705?section=official-list-entry, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bishopthorpe_Palace

Built in 2001 for over £4m, the York Millennium Bridge is a pedestrian and cycle bridge over the River Ouse in York, England. It connects New Walk to Terry Avenue, south of the city centre, and is part of a popular circular walking route. The bridge was designed to shorten the walking and cycling routes for people in the South Bank area of the city to the University of York and the city centre. If you are a pedestrian, then keep your wits about you. Cyclists will not give you any room and will not slow down either.

Great crossing and great scenery

decent and smooth bridge

The bridge over the River Ouse features a single leaning arch with cables fanned out like bicycle spokes, symbolizing its purpose as a key link for walkers and cyclists.

Easy path alongside the Selby Canal, a historic waterway connecting the River Ouse at Selby to the River Aire in Chapel Haddlesey.

Spectacular abbey for such a small town. Interesting info board describing the 19th Century cholera epidemic and associated graveyard, much like the one just outside the walls opposite York Station.

Grade I listed building. The surviving fifteenth-century structures formed part of a fortified medieval palace belonging to the Archbishops of York, which was dismantled in the aftermath of the English Civil War. The only remaining parts of the castle are the gatehouse and the banqueting hall. Stones from the destroyed castle were used in the construction of surrounding houses. The foundations of some other structures do remain as well as the castle's cellar, which was excavated in the 19th century. The gatehouse served as a courthouse until the 1930s, before being used as an officers' mess and a building for the Home Guard during World War II. The first fortifications on this site are believed to be those built by King Athelstan in the 10th Century.

Grade II listed swing bridge opened in 1872. The deck was submerged when the River Ouse flooded in 2015.

Open for all visitors (including sightseeing) from 10.00am to 4.00pm daily and the Gift and Coffee Shop is open from 10.30am to 3.30pm (1.30 to 3.00pm on Sundays). Visiting may be restricted during service times. https://www.selbyabbey.org.uk/

Snaith Priory was a Benedictine priory in Snaith, within the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The priory was located at the Church of St Lawrence in Snaith, which has been a Grade I listed building since 1967.[1] It was founded shortly after 1101, and dissolved in 1539. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snaith_Priory

Excellent Tea / Coffee and cake stop

Bishopthorpe Palace is situated along the beautiful River Ouse south of the city centre of York. It's the official home of the Archbishop of York, and has been for all previous Archbishop's of York since 1241. Whilst the inside of the palace is only open for pre-arranged tours with quite a long waiting list, you can still admire the palace and its beautiful gatehouse from the footpath outside.

Nice cycle path along the Selby Canal.

In 1890, the prison commissioners agreed to declare Clifford's Tower a national monument and preserve it as a historic site. [112] In 1902, Clifford's Tower was given to York Corporation, along with a grant of £3,000 (equivalent to £320,000 in 2019) for conservation and repairs arranged by Lord Wenlock. The removal of rubble and damage to the castle's masonry in the 16th century placed excessive pressure on the retaining wall, leading to renewed subsidence in the 14th century. [117] Sir Basil Mott, a leading Victorian engineer, installed concrete underpinnings to stabilize the structure beneath the gatehouse. [117]In the early 20th century, Clifford's Tower was regularly open to visitors and in 1915 it was handed over to the Office of Works as a national monument (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/York_Castle).

The track is now resurfaced and smooth

Cliffords Tower is a remarkable fortress on a motte (artificial hill). Opposite is York Castle in the gusset between the River Foss and the River Ouse.
