York rivers trail
About Us
The York rivers trail: the rivers and us is a walking and wheeling experience along the River Ouse, linking parks, gardens and historic spaces across the city. Explore in your own way - on a short visit or across several locations.
Each stop offers a different perspective on how water shapes York, from nature and biodiversity to history, trade and flood resilience. Along the route, you will find viewing frames and opportunities to “Talk to the river” through a simple interactive experience.
The trail is free and can be explored at any time, with a programme of events, activities and exhibitions taking place across summer 2026.
Start anywhere along the river and discover more: www.york.gov.uk/YorkRiversTrail
Opening Times
Always open. Please take care when visiting - conditions can vary along the river and at different times of the day and year.
