The first light catches the still water of the fishing lakes, mist lifting as moorhens call across the reeds.

Elvington Fisheries suits anglers first and foremost — this is a proper fishery with camping attached, tucked into the North Yorkshire flatlands just outside York. Tent pitchers, caravanners and campervans are all welcome, so you'll find a mix of weekend fishing folk and touring families using it as a base for the city or the Wolds beyond. It's quiet, rural, with that particular stillness fishing lakes bring.

Onsite you've got the basics covered — toilets and showers — and the real draw for many is Elvington Fisheries itself, with several well-stocked lakes if you've brought your rod. Campfires are worth checking when you arrive, as policies can shift with the season. Expect a low-key, unfussy atmosphere: this isn't a bells-and-whistles site, but if you want space, birdsong and the chance to cast a line before breakfast, it does exactly what it says.

Millennium Way

Follows a historic 100-mile trail from Middleton in West Yorkshire to Appleby-in-Westmorland, though most tackle shorter sections. Terrain varies from gentle canal towpaths and farmland to steep moorland climbs across the Pennines. Not buggy-friendly due to stiles, rough ground and significant elevation changes. Dogs welcome but need lead control near livestock. Rewards you with stunning Yorkshire Dales and Eden Valley views, plus fascinating industrial heritage landmarks along the way.

Jorvic Way

Covers 104km of mixed terrain from York to Filey, following the historic route of Viking raids across the North York Moors. Expect gentle canal paths and farmland early on, then increasingly steep moorland climbs with challenging gradients in the middle sections. Not suitable for buggies or very young children due to length and terrain variety. Dogs welcome but must be under control near livestock. Worth doing for the dramatic moorland scenery, coastal finale at Filey Brigg, and fascinating Viki

Campus Tree Trail

Meanders through the University of York's parkland campus, showcasing mature trees and landscaped grounds on mostly flat, paved paths. Perfect for families with buggies and young children – smooth surfaces throughout with no challenging terrain. Dogs welcome on leads. Ideal for a gentle educational stroll combining nature with striking 1960s architecture, plus you'll likely spot the campus lake and wildlife including ducks and geese.
