The Anonymous Widower

A Circular Walk Through York

At York station, I took a circular walk to the City Centre and back to get some lunch.

The return route from the centre was as follows.

• Through the Museum Gardens
• Along the River Ouse.
• Across the Pedestrian Bridge by the York to Scarborough Line
• Directly into the station through the cycle parking.

The installation of the new bridge was talked about in Dancing With Cranes And A Bridge With Help From Lego.

My return route along the river and over the new bridge was a lot easier, as you’re away from the traffic on pavements that are better.

This map shows the area where I walked back to the station.

York Minster To York Station

The Scarborough Bridge is the most westerly one over the River Ouse.

I would also think it’s easier to go this way between the National Railway Museum and York Minster and the City Centre.

For a city that relies on tourism, it is not blessed with decent and numerous, maps and information.

Of the major cities in Yorkshire that I’ve visited only Sheffield seems to have a large number of decent maps. None are up to the standard of Glasgow, Krakow and Preston.
