코팅위드 주변 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

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

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.

Excellent veggie breakfast served until 3pm.

Smashing veggie breakfast!

Great walk.

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.

The first of 5 disused locks between the canal head and Coat's Bridge. Although the next 4 (Silburn, Giles, Sandhill and Coat's Locks) are derelict, Top Lock's principal structure is relatively intact, and the lock gates and manual and hydraulic gearing mechanisms have been restored to traditional design.

Silburn Lock is the second of 5 disused locks as you walk from the canal head at Pocklington towards Coat's Bridge.

Giles Lock is quite easy to see, not as overgrown as some of the others, and the canal is but a shadow of its former self immediately south of the lock.

Very overgrown and difficult to see, this is one of 5 disused and derelict locks between the canal head at Pocklington and Coat's Bridge.

Walbut Bridge carries the road from Melbourne to Allerthorpe, and Walbut Lock is immediately adjacent to the bridge.

The Pocklington Canal was constructed at the beginning of the 19th century to transport agricultural goods from the East Riding to the larger urban centres to the south and west. A Bill was placed before Parliament in 1814 and the canal was designed by George Leather Jnr, an experienced navigation engineer who worked on Goole Docks and the Knottingley and Goole Canal. The canal was opened in 1818, running for 9.5 miles from the River Derwent at East Cottingwith to a mile south of Pocklington. The cost was £32,695, which was actually less than the original estimate. Hagg Bridge is one of four bridges crossing the canal designed by George Leather.

Picturesque head of Pocklington Canal with parking, picnic spots and a Pocklington Canal Amenity Society visitor centre. The upper part of the canal is now disused with lots of derelict locks, however, there are several parking spots along the lower half of the canal that is still navigable. https://www.pocklingtoncanalsociety.org/maps

Quintessential English village pond, complete with duckhouse in the middle of the pond.

Crosses the racecourse. A good view of what the horse & jockey might see on a race day 👍

Watch out for the Sun marker and then ride the trail towards Selby and spot all the planets along the way. Tried to educate you on how big/small they are and how far away from the sun. Interesting 👍

From here, you get a nice view of Hagg Bridge, a humpbacked crossing that spans the Pocklington Canal. The bridge looks so picturesque surrounded by the scenery of the Wolds. The fields are vibrant green, dotted with seasonal wildflowers and trees.

You can find picnic benches at the car park
