A gentle 6 mile stroll exploring the countryside to the south of York. We start by the University Sport Centre and head south out of Heslington village through open fields. We cross over the A64,walking through the golf course to Heslington Common, which is an SSSI and home to many nesting bird species. We follow a mix of footpaths and tracks, back over the A64 into Fulford, and back into Heslington, with the possibility of seeing rheas and peacocks on the way.
This is a gentle, flat walk perfect for new walkers or those just wanting a gentle stroll with friends.
