Askham Bog york

Absolutely beautiful space to walk, stop, smell the different plants and wild flowers and listen to the gorgeous birdsong. I can't believe the number of times i've driven past here and not noticed it before. A sanctuary away from the madness of the modern world. Somewhere to comfort your soul.

A stunning place anytime of the year, and don't just walk around once hang around and walk around slowly and do a few laps. Lots to be seen but not a place to be rushed. Best going early morning as few around.

Excellent small nature reserve. A favourite spot to spend an hour.

Saw two deer, beautiful place.

A nice place for a short walk. I look forward to dryer weather when we might venture off the board path to explore more :)

Probably not the best of days to visit as it was damp and foggy but it's a great place run by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust . Greeted by a volunteer from there he gave a information and a guide . The footpaths are extremely well maintained and there are options to wander off into woodlands if you want to . It's wheelchair accessible and to say it's only a stones throw from the Knavesmire and the park and ride it's very well secluded . It was an enjoyable visit and the gentle meander took about an hour. Lots of wildlife to see and a birdwatchers paradise : thoroughly recommend visiting here the only reason I've given it 4 stars is a lack of toilet facilities so ensure you don't drink too much before going !

Lovely little wildlife reserve off the beaten track. A bit of road noise but it's not too intrusive. Looks like you can venture off the boardwalks if it is dry (or you don't mind sinking into the bog!)

Just a bog afterall. Could be embellished with attractions.

Decent little place to go, loads of little birds and push chair friendly 👍🏼

Nice circular (square) clean walk around the bog from the car park. Always plenty of spaces to park. Dog allowed on the main boardwalk too. Various boggy paths off into woods, seems to be off-path spaces for kids to play building dens in the middle.
