22 Aug 2021This route follows the course of the 2000-year-old Roman Road from Calcaria to Eboracum. I walked it on a warm dry day in August.
Starting at the old brewery in Tadcaster, which still uses beautiful grey shire horses to pull the brewer's dray, the route proceeds to the lovely stone bridge over the river Wharfe, which partially collapsed in the floods of December 2015, but was rebuilt and reopened in February 2017 after the village had been divided in two for more than a year.
At the bridge the route meets the Ebor Way and then follows it all the way to York, with just one slight variation in Bishopthorpe village.
The first third of the route is quite close to the busy, noisy A64 dual carriageway, although part of this section pushes through a pleasant but fairly overgrown woodland pathway. After rejoining the A64 and then crossing it on a road bridge with views all round, the route follows field edges and country lanes. It winds through the large villages of Copmanthorpe and Bishopthorpe (crossing the East Coast main railway line on the level between the 2 villages - only cross when the light show green!) Once through Bishopthorpe, with views through the gatehouse to the impressive Bishopthorpe Palace, home of the Archbishops of York, the route follows the bank of the river Ouse all the way into York city centre, ducking under the A64 road bridge with its uplifting graffiti and passing the haunt of the rare, protected tansy beetle. At the time of writing, just after the Millennium Bridge there is a diversion for pedestrians away from the river due to flood alleviation works. You can follow the diversion as signed or you can continue on into Rowntree Park and then exit the park on the far side to head for the station.
At 12 miles this was quite a long route for me. I started in Tadcaster at 9am and arrived at York railway station at 3pm after moving a fairly leisurely pace all day. Route-finding was mostly easy, though signage in Copmanthorpe village was lacking and needed careful map-reading. There were several gates and stiles along the way.
