Green Archway, Shipton Road, York

This oasis of peace and quiet is just a step away from the A59 the busy road between York and Harrogate. We often walk along this short path to avoid the hustle and bustle of the traffic.

The light was lovely and I had to see if I could capture the effect before I went home. Shelter and arches are provided by Oak trees and Hawthorn. Prolific areas of stinging nettles adorn the sides of the path.

@thresheg It is beautiful if a little short! It's a lovely path to get away from the traffic. Katharine

@padlock Thank you.the arch is getting better with neglect. The path was originally used by staff cutting between the old mental hospital and its adolescent wing. Katharine

[Fisher Family]

@bruni Its surprising how little can be heard of the cars and lorries only a short distance away. Katharine

[Fisher Family]

@hshdebbie I'm afraid it is not a long path but you can reach a longer walk from it. Katharine

@dolphin It is lovely and the variety of wildlife makes up for the path being on the short side. katharine

@bkbinthecity The picture is a bit deceiving as the path was originally a short cut between two hospital sites, but it does lead to a lovely riverside walk. Katharine
