A leisurely evening walk around New Earswick taking in part of Joseph Rowntree's model village as well as the river and railways that border it on three sides.

From the Folk Hall we follow the riverside path out of the village to Lock Cottage before taking the route of the old York-Beverley railway line (now a footpath and cycleway) towards the outer part of Bootham Stray. After crossing the railway we turn away from York and walk alongside the line through farmland until we reach the northern end of New Earswick before returning to the Folk Hall via All Saints Church and more riverside.

🪧Meet at the rear of the Folk Hall car park, Hawthorn Terrace, New Earswick, YO32 4AQ

🅿️ Parking is available in the car park behind the Folk Hall.

🚻Unfortunately there are no public toilets on this route

🚌 You can get to New Earswick from York using the number 1 or 13/14 bus services - both routes stop directly in front of the Folk Hall.

🐶 Dogs are welcome but they will need to be kept on leads at all times. There are two stiles along the route.

🥾Please ensure you bring suitable footwear

🍺 As a Quaker-founded village New Earswick has no pub (!) so for a post-walk drink we'll have to cross the parish boundary and visit Huntington (600m to the HogsHead).
