Walking

York's historic city centre contains one of the largest traffic-free pedestrian areas in Europe so you can enjoy the city on foot.

In this section:

Public rights of way
There are about 212km of public rights of way in the York area
Road safety - cycling and walking to school
School travel plans help to reduce the effects of the 'school run' on congestion and pollution
School crossing patrols
We provide school crossing patrols. We are not required to provide crossing patrols by law but we do so as a matter of safety
Walking for leisure and health
Walking is an ideal form of exercise. It requires no equipment or expense and is one of the best ways for you to become more active.
