Perfect for dogs, nature lovers and families alike.

There are many detours that can help create a much longer walk if you wish. Keep heading north along the cycle path toward Skelton or just a mile or two south you can be in the City of York itself. Parking The big Park and Ride car park, Rawcliffe Bar, is free and is predominantly used for people heading into York and back. However, the beauty of it is that it is situated right beside the Ings and the River Ouse too. Behind the bus stop within the car park, look for the path that leads away within the trees and down to the open space. Rawcliffe Ings Doing this walk anti-clockwise gives you much of the river in the first half. Upon reaching the cycle path from the car park, turn right, and head under the road bridge that carries the A1237 York Ring Road above.

The main path is raised on a flood defence so the elevation gives a perspective all over as you walk. Every now and then you get sandy beach-like areas that children or dogs will love, whatever the weather. As you walk along the riverside, the raised path it will eventually leave the water's edge and bend left, back toward the concrete path and cycle path. Here is where you can turn right and head into the city or turn left to continue back beside Clifton Ings. Now the open field is to your left and there are well maintained meadows and nature reserves along the way to your right. Keep following the path back to the car park you started at, but make sure you enjoy every step and view along the way. Also keep an eye out for the well maintained and kept meadows, full of colour and butterflies galore.
