Overview

This is a easy walk taking in some of York's green spaces and riverside path.

Starting at Cherry Lane we make our way over to Millennium Bridge, picking up the riverside path. We make our way to Fulford Ings where we get views of the Bishops Palace.

We join the cycle path on Naburn Lane which takes up to The Planets Greenway. We follow this passing Fisherman's Bridge to the Sun, then through Knavesmire Woods back to the start.
