ヨークでののおすすめMTBライド

great for a photo

This is a surprise, riding along the river Ouse edge, which is a popular walk way, there is a boat that sells ice cream. First time I have ever seen a boat selling it.

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

Lots of signage on this route. Some directional and some informative.

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.

Don't visit in winter. Very good chance it will be under water, or sludge after the River Ouse floodwaters have receded. Bearing that in mind, YCC and the keepers do a pretty good job of maintaining the park. The park was created in memory of employees of Rowntree's who died in the First World War, and was opened on 16 July 1921 by local entrepreneur and philanthropist Joseph Rowntree. Upon their purchase in 1919, the 17 acres of land cost £1,500. The park now covers an area of 25 acres, with it being extended in 1926/7 with the purchase of Clementhorpe allotments, and further in 2000 with the purchase of Butcher Terrace football fields. The gates at the riverbank entrance are eighteenth-century and were given by the company as a memorial to the people of York who died in the Second World War. There are further commemorative plaques on the dovecote. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rowntree_Park

Nice traffic free alternative. Nice also to escape thebheat

Thomas Hughes, a ferry worker, is believed to be the first case of cholera in York having been diagnosed by the apothecary at the York Dispensary (Duncombe Place) on 2nd June 1832. In the following three months there were 450 recorded cases resulting in approximately 185 deaths. Riots nearly broke out on North Street due to fears that the mere sight of a hearse transporting a cholera victim’s body was sufficient to infect people with the disease. Interestingly North Street is the birthplace of Dr John Snow in March 1813 who discovered in 1854 that cholera was waterborne. https://yorkcivictrust.co.uk/heritage/civic-trust-plaques/cholera-burial-ground/
