Overview

This is a 5.5 mile walk from Fulford that is part urban and part countryside. We follow good tracks and paths across Walmgate Stray, through the army barracks, and down to Millennium Bridge where we stay to the south of the river on Fulford Ings. We will see the back of Bishopthorpe Palace and return via a quiet road into Fulford.
