Description
I have devised Yorhax two to avoid the unsafe crossing of the A1237 (York ring road) as noted by several reviewers, and also to provide a more level, more direct route within York city centre for those that prefer this.
From York's start point, the route crosses the River Ouse via Lendal Bridge, then diverges from Yorhax one to pass in front of York Minster along Deangate. At Monk Bar the route rejoins Yorhax one and then follows the River Foss all the way to Haxby.
Where Yorhax one bears left at Huntington church then proceeds to cross the ring road on the level, Yorhax two continues to meander alongside the River Foss. After safely passing under the ring road, the route crosses first to the east bank via a tall and narrow footbridge then back to the west bank on a low footbridge. Shortly after crossing the second footbridge the route bears left away from the river to arrive at Landing Lane. Turn right onto Landing Lane then left onto Station Road to cross the railway level crossing and proceed into Haxby village.
This route is at risk of flooding when the River Foss is high.
Unfortunately the route is not suitable for wheeling due to several kissing gates and flights of steps
