River Ouse

There is much to see on the riverside, such as the impressive Guildhall.

A small open archway at water level is directly below the Guildhall and probably marks the point where the Romans originally forded the Ouse, and later bridged it.

The Millennium Footbridge spans the river between Butcher Terrace on the west bank of the Ouse to Hospital Fields Road on the east bank.

This has created a short cut from Fulford to Rowntree Park and the racecourse, and a circular walk from the middle of the city, along one bank of the river, over the bridge and back along the other bank.
