The New Walk runs along the east bank of the River Ouse from Tower Gardens to the Millennium Bridge, a distance of about 1.2km (3/4 mile). In origin it was a tree-lined riverside promenade laid out in the 1730s as part of the City’s attempt to make York a leading social centre in the north of England. Today it provides an invaluable traffic-free routeway and strip of green space which extends into the heart of the urban area. It is enjoyed and appreciated by the whole community.
