Bridge over untroubled water 2

The River Foss flows gently by a few pretty tame geese on Huntington Road, just before Monk Bar roundabout. The bridge carries the A1036 to Heworth Green, then on to the A64 to Malton, Whitby and Scarborough.

Groves grooves 1

So reassuringly British, these bay-windowed terraced houses on the Groves lie just to the north-east of York city centre, bordered by Lord Mayor's Walk, Clarence Street, Haxby and Huntington Roads and Monkgate. Being very close to York St John University, the Groves is a popular student let area. I think this is Neville Street. 

Banks of green willow

York's smaller river, the Foss, flowing south along by Huntington Road, veers off behind Gladstone Street, just a few minutes' walk from the city walls at Monk Bar.
