Sustrans Route 66 - The York end
Image: © DS Pugh Taken: 18 May 2006
This Sustrans national cycle route runs from York out to Beverley. This stretch is on an old railway trackbed which used to form a branch running from a junction with the York - Scarborough line, down through Murton & Wheldrake, and then joining back to other branches just to the east of Selby. As a cycle route, the railway is used between the Nestle chocolate factory and Osbaldwick, beyond Osbaldwick quiet roads take you as far as Market Weighton before joining the old York to Beverley railway. This is the start of route 66, between York hospital and the Nestle factory. Routes from here run towards New Earswick, and to the city via the hospital. The bridge in front carries the B1363. The city is to the right.
