Join us as we discover hidden green spaces in our blog series
We're near York for our hidden green space this month, in a small wood to the south east of the city
At Move the Masses HQ we’re always keen to find new green spaces to explore. This spot is a favourite with Move Mates staff and volunteers and is perfect for exploring with families and dogs.
This is the seventeenth blog in our series – check out the others here. Don’t forget to let us know if you visit anywhere new as a result – we always appreciate comments and photos! Likewise, if you have anywhere you think others should know about, please get in touch and we’ll feature it soon: hello@movethemasses.org.uk
Happy exploring!


How to find Wheldrake Wood…
This woodland area is 10 miles south east of York City Centre.
Show location on Google Maps.
There is a small car park at the site. The nearest bus routes go through Wheldrake Village or Elvington Air Museum. Both of these would require a walk to the woods. In nearby Wheldrake Village, our staff recommend The Wenlock Arms pub for a drink or meal and Caffe Valeria for excellent coffee and Sicilian desserts.
The main path is surfaced and level, suitable for wheelchairs and buggies.
This a popular place for dog walking.
