Access

Open access.  There are informal paths, which are wet and muddy in winter.

Description

Bootham Stray is an important part of the historic landscape of York and a link to the surrounding farmland. There is a great sense of space but the busy Wigginton Road, cutting through the stray, makes this a piece of countryside in the city.

There is more than 100 acres of grassland, with large parts grazed by cattle.

Buses

Buses run frequently from the city centre to Burton Stone Lane / Burton Green Corner. See our webpage for bus services in York.
