Overview

A lovely walk starting from Bishopthorpe walking along the riverside to Acaster Malbis, then heading across the fields back to Bishopthorpe. There will be views of Naburn Marina so plenty of boats to look at! ⛵

This is a fairly flat walk and easy going. It could be muddy if there has been rain.
