Autumn Colours in York

Last Updated November 8, 2019 By yorkstay

Here are some photos of the beautiful autumn colours around York at the moment. Walking from Rowntree Park which is a short stroll from the City Centre, along the River Ouse into town. Rowntree Park has a lovely ‘Library Cafe’ where you can sit inside, or outside and enjoy the view over the park, lake, and river.

The Museum Gardens, set along side the river is also a lovely gentle walk.
