Not open Mondays and Tuesdays

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

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.

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.

Old Norse "mykill" (great) and "gata" (street), the "gate" suffix being very common among York street names. You can also add the heads of Edmund, Earl of Rutland and Richard Neville, 5th Earl of Salisbury to the Bar, and some say that the Duke of York's participation in the Battle of Wakefield is the source of the phrase for remembering the traditional colours of the rainbow, Richard Of York Gave Battle in Vain...

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.

Nice and easy gravel track, can be quite bumpy and the middle section through woodlands always seems to be wet (even when it hasn't rained for weeks)

Micklegate Bar was the most important of York’s four main medieval gateways and the focus for grand events. The name comes from 'Micklelith', meaning great street. It was the main entrance to the city for anyone arriving from the South. At least half a dozen reigning monarchs have passed through this gate and by tradition they stop here to ask the Lord Mayor's permission to enter the city. The lower section of the bar dates from the 12th century, the top two storeys from the 14th. The building was inhabited from 1196. Like the other main gates, Micklegate Bar originally had a barbican built on the front, in this case demolished in 1826. For centuries the severed heads of rebels and traitors were displayed above the gate, the many victims include Sir Henry Purcey (Hotspur) in 1403 and Richard, Duke of York in 1460. The last of the severed heads was removed in 1754.

The last time I used this was the 17th April and it was very muddy in the woods as previously mentioned but it was also a mudbath after the open section across the farmland nearer to the buildings

If you're after a peaceful way out of the city to the east, this is the way. Expect a bumpy, possibly muddy track, but nothing crazy. Comfort will be proportional to your tyre width :)

Rough track that would be suitable for MTB, touring, and gravel bikes

A handy trail to get in/out of York to avoid any major roads and get past the A64 onto Moor Lane. The path is a public bridleway and is bumpy, also quite muddy and fills with puddles after rain .

Quite a bumpy track in the middle section. The top/north side in the woods had a bit that was unpaved and very muddy. Suitable for the gravel bike.

Micklegate Bar, the most significant among York's four primary medieval gateways, held a prominent role as the focal point for grand events. Its name, derived from 'Micklelith' meaning 'great street,' aptly reflects its significance. Serving as the primary entrance to the city for those arriving from the South, this historic gate witnessed the passage of numerous reigning monarchs, who adhered to the tradition of seeking the Lord Mayor's permission before entering the city.

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).

Nice bridge leading down to the Dame Judy Dench Walk

The centre of York is well worth a trip. Luckily lots of it can be viewed just by pushing your bike through the pedestrian areas, but I wanted to go up onto the city walls so I left my luggage with Yorbag (£8 for 2 panniers)

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.
