great for a photo

Parking for several cars, picnic benches a little bit shabby and decayed as of autumn 2025.

You get a true sense of scale when you turn onto Museum Street with the view of the cathedral in front of you, it dwarfs the surrounding buildings. York is a busy city centre with packed streets

Lovely road, steady climb, quiet.

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

Nice traffic free alternative. Nice also to escape thebheat

Iconic view looking northeast up Museum Street, get the sense of scale that is difficult to appreciate when stood right next to it. Another great view is the eastern end of the Minster from College Street.

Nice cafes

Great Café

What a stunning section to cycle through.

Nice views from the bridge with quirky fisherman installation sat on top.

York Minster, undoubtedly the most impressive sight in York, holds this title amidst a city filled to the brim with iconic landmarks. This masterpiece of Gothic architecture is distinguished by its soaring spires and medieval stained-glass windows. The Great East Window is the largest stained-glass window in the world. It dates back to the 15th century and is commonly referred to as the "Heart of Yorkshire" because of its distinctive shape. Whilst visiting the Minster, I'd recommend ascending the towers for panoramic views of the whole city, or take a guided tour for a deeper look into the history.

Great pass through village.

This is a lovely place to stop on your tour if you need some food and drink at a pleasant inn in a lovely spot. It's a sizeable inn with great staff. I'd recommend to use the seats outside (street-side) for great views over Kirkham Valley, including Kirkham Priory (which is 1 minute ride from here or 5 minutes walking from down the road from here). The inn is just a lovely place to stop and enjoy your life.

You can find picnic benches at the car park

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.

Great spot to refuel, so many great cafes.

Nice bridge leading down to the Dame Judy Dench Walk
