Clifton Ings Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This footpath follows the banks of the River Ouse and the stream along the edge of Clifton Ings into (or out of) York. It shares the trail with the York and Selby long distance walking trail.

The Ings are a flood defence scheme where the grassland here can be flooded at times of high flow, reducing the impact of the river and flooding in York. In the summer, farmers use the lush grassland to feed the cattle.

Micklegate Bar

Highlight • Structure

Micklegate Bar, the most significant among York's four primary medieval gateways, held a prominent role as the focal point for grand events. Its name, derived from 'Micklelith' meaning 'great street,' aptly reflects its significance.

Serving as the primary entrance to the city for those arriving from the South, this historic gate witnessed the passage of numerous reigning monarchs, who adhered to the tradition of seeking the Lord Mayor's permission before entering the city.

It is said that within these very grounds, insurgent barons convened to draft the historic Magna Carta in the year 1215.
