Walks in York

We have put together 15 leaflets for walks in and around York for you to enjoy.  They range from 1.5 to 6.5 miles in distance and all are accessible by public transport.  All walks have a map and written directions and include particular points of interest appearing on the route.

Walking is a great form of exercise which you can enjoy on  your own or with family and friends at times to suit you.  It's also a pleasurable way to discover more of York and its surroundings.

You can download details of any of these walks from the 'documents to download' section on the right-hand side of this page.
