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

The Blue Bridge in York is a historic landmark located where the River Foss meets the River Ouse. It's known for its distinctive blue colour, which has been maintained through several reconstructions. The current bridge was built in 1929-30, replacing earlier versions, including a stone arch bridge and various wooden and iron opening bridges. The bridge is a popular spot for locals and tourists, offering views of the river and linking St. George's Field with New Walk.

The "Eye of York," a space enclosed by the Crown Court, Castle Museum, and Clifford's Tower, offers a unique historical and cultural experience. It's a significant site with a rich past, including a key role in executions and as the location for the tragic massacre of York's Jewish community in 1190. Parking is tight around the area. St. George's Field Car Park on the riverfront makes for a pleasant stroll into the city, but it is not particularly large and fills up quickly. There is a larger Castle Car Park right next to Clifford's Tower, but the spaces are notoriously narrow, so you get to choose between either bashing the adjacent car or dislocating your hip when you get in and out of your car. If driving to York, then your best bet is the park and ride at the Designer Outlet on at the A64/A19 junction.

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.

Pluto is up the shallow hill, slightly off the main path. You're always a planet to me, Pluto.
