Discover the history of York’s Fishergate, Fulford and Fordlands Road neighbourhoods with a variety of walking trails.

  • Explore the Fordlands Road and Germany Beck area at the southern end of Fulford, discovering interesting and historical aspects of the buildings and landscape, with a map and photographs to help walkers follow the notes.
