The Mount lies to the south-west of York city centre, just before the Knavesmire, part of York Racecourse. These 250 acres of open grassland are open to the public on non-race days for walking, running,dog-walking and enjoying nature. In the opposite direction, a pleasant 10-minute stroll from The Mount, passing the train station and interesting independent shops and cafés along theway, leads directly to Micklegate Bar. This is one of York’s four main gateways, the others being Bootham Bar, Monk Bar and Walmgate Bar. For more than six centuries, tradition dictates that should the reigning monarch visit York, Micklegate Bar is the royal entrance to the city. From here, over the Ouse Bridge, it’s straight into the historic heart of the city centre. To the left is The Shambles with York Minister behind, to the right the YORVIK Viking Centre, Clifford’s Tower and York Castle Museum.
The property is also a pleasant walk from the fashionable Bishopthorpe Road which has an abundance of independent eateries, shops and bars.
