Overview

Starting in Osbaldwick village, this walk takes in some more of York's green spaces, including St Nicks nature reserve and the lake on the main campus.  There are views from Heslington Hill this time and there may be a few blackberries left, so bring a container if you fancy dawdling a bit to pick some.
