Overview

Meet at York Station for the 9.54 number 13 bus to the Folk Hall for the first First Friday walk of 2025.  This  will be a winter flower walk from New Earswick Folk Hall to enjoy green spaces near the Foss and Ouse rivers. 

We'll spot snowdrops around All Saints Church in Huntington, hellebores in Homestead Park and Museum Gardens and possibly others in between.  Muddy in places, so exact route will depend on what the weather brings.
