Description

Walmgate Stray, commonly known as Low Moor, is a remnant of York's historic landscape. It covers the marshy area of Low Moor and two sections either side of The Retreat. Low Moor is criss-crossed by informal paths, and in winter the going is often wet and muddy. It is, however, worth putting on your boots for a walk which will give you the sense of getting away from the city and meeting the cattle which graze this area for part of the year.

Buses

Buses run frequently from the city centre to Heslington Road or University Road.
See our webpages for bus services in York.

Parking

There is a pay and display car park on the university campus.
