On the A1036 Tadcaster Road out of York and overlooking the racecourse is this very worn milestone. In the centre can be seen a peg where a metal plate was attached at some time. There is a benchmark near the top at the back. Behind the stone a stainless steel plate giving its history. It is Grade II listed 1256500.
