Descripción

Askham Bog is a mosaic of fen, woodland and meadow. It is remarkable survivor of the ancient fenlands of Yorkshire. It occupies the site of an ancient lake, left behind by a retreating glacier 15,000 years ago - the low hill to the south of the Bog, along which the A64 road runs, is the terminal moraine from that glacier. The area is perfect for birders all year long, as well as family walks. You can stay safe on the boardwalk or use your boots or wellies to go off piste! It has been saved from a housing development (summer 2019) with the help of David Attenborough.

Accesso

By car: Approaching York on the eastbound A64 take the A1036 turn off and then turn sharp left in the car park just after the first set of traffic lights.

Public transport: Buses stop adjacent to the nature reserve on the A64 and in the nearby village of Copmanthorpe. A cycle track links to both York and Tadcaster.

Easy access with a fairly large car park. There is a 750m circuit on a boardwalk around the central part of Askham Bog, with a short there-and-back to the pond, suitable for most wheelchairs and pushchairs. There are passing places and benches situated along the walk. There is an accessible gate from the car park - a path runs to the start of the boardwalk which is slightly downhill.
