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.
