The Knavesmire & Racecourse dog walks

The Knavesmire is part of one York’s famous ‘strays’ – open land within the City of York. It is also home to York Racecourse and the racetrack runs around the middle of the Knavesmire. As long as there is no race meeting you can walk around the broad, level path next to the racetrack. This route is extremely popular with dog walkers and group dog walks are sometimes organised here. The York Parkrun also takes place here, so avoid Saturday mornings if you don’t enjoy being jostled by dozens of runners!

If you have energy and sturdy shoes, you can walk outside the race track, taking in the Knavesmire woods and the vast grassy stray. Park along Knavesmire Road or in the small car park down Cherry Lane off the Tadcaster Road.

Four legged friends can enjoy a treat on the Knavesmire at the Little Yorkshire Coffee Company. Open every day for great coffee and cake! Our dog Luna, the black lab approves!

Walk the City Walls

Known to be the oldest city walls in England, this two-mile long walk along the walls of York is an incredible way to see the city. Walking along the walls is free of charge and allows you to take in some pretty amazing views of the city and its history.

Tip: Wake up early, grab a coffee, and walk along the walls in the morning. It was so magical to watch the sunrise and walk along the walls alone.

National Treasures: Monet in York ‘The Water-Lily Pond’ is now open! ✨

Come and see ‘The Water-Lily Pond’ (1899) at the centre of this new exhibition, which explores Monet in the context of 19th-century French open-air painting, works by his early mentors, and the Japanese prints which transformed his practice and beloved gardens in Giverny. 🪷

By displaying canvases by the contemporaries he inspired, as well as more modern artworks and a new commission by Michaela Yearwood-Dan, the exhibition will reveal how Monet’s radical approach to painting had, and continues to have, an enduring influence on artists. 🎨

York Cat Trail 🐈‍⬛

The best way to discover York is on foot: wind your way down the snickleways, canter down the cobbles and enjoy the street entertainment.

One of the best ways to make a walk with kids even more fun is by following a trail, and the York Lucky Cat Trail is one of the best. It’s free too!

Statues of cats have been placed on buildings in York for around two centuries, although statues since removed or rotted are thought to date from medieval times. The original cat statues were placed on buildings to frighten away rats and mice which can carry plague and illness. They were also thought to ward off wandering evil spirits and generally to bestow good luck and good health on citizens who needed feline friends to ensure a good night’s sleep in old and temptingly chewy timber-framed buildings!

The updated The York Cat Trail is in large A3 format! FREE for everyone! Pop to the York Lucky Cats shop on 34 Coney Street or Visit York tourist information centre to grab the copy.

York’s Parks & Gardens

In York you really are spoilt for choice when it comes to beautiful parks, gardens and green spaces. Offering some peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre, York is full of beauty and has some lovely places to enjoy an afternoon stroll or a picnic in the summer months.

York Museum Gardens
The York Museum Gardens, with its botanical plants, is home to the Yorkshire Museum, Hospitium and the remains of St Marys Abbey.

The remains of St Mary's Abbey offer some shade on hot sunny days and there's plenty of open space for children to run around. There are no ball games allowed in York Museum Gardens. If you're looking for something else to pass the time, pop into the Yorkshire Museum..

Deans Park
Another delightful space is Dean’s Park. Placed perfectly between the majestic York Minster and the grounds of the Treasurer’s House, you can sit here and take a break in between sightseeing. If you wait long enough, you'll be able to hear the bells of York Minster strike on the hour.

Rowntree Park
Popular with families, with its playgrounds and cosy Reading Café, Rowntree Park is a little further out from the city centre. It will take you about 25-minutes to walk there from the city centre.

The walk takes you along the river where you can watch the City Cruise and other boats sailing up and down the river. Once you arrive there is plenty to see and do. A lake, open fields and a garden offer a constant change in scenery as you wander around.

Homestead Park
A little further out of town is Homestead Park. With glorious seasonal floral displays, it's around 1.5-miles from the city centre. The 14-acre garden is open every day except Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day.

There is a popular play area for children and a pop-up café run by Explore. You'll also be able to buy plants from its plant sale and there is plenty of seating for picnics.
