Mayfield Public Open Space
WHERE
York
What it’s like
Open trails through woodland and meadow for a walk or a bike ride, no set route to follow.
This is a stretch of green space given over to walking and cycling trails, with woodland and meadow areas to poke about in along the way. There's no set circuit as such, so you can make it a quick loop with a scooter or turn it into a proper wander if the kids are up for exploring off the main path.
It suits a family bike ride more than a big day out, the kind of trip where the destination is really just "outside" rather than a specific attraction. Younger kids on balance bikes or scooters will manage the flatter trail sections fine, while older ones can range further into the woodland bits without you losing sight of them completely.
There's nothing to book and nothing laid on, which is either refreshing or a bit bare depending on your mood. Bring your own bikes, scooters or just wellies, because from what's listed this is a space you make your own day out of rather than one with rides or a café waiting at the end.
