Pocklington Canal Summer
Pocklington canal runs south from the A1079 near Pocklington to Bielby, where it turns and runs west. It is a beautifully overgrown and neglected canal and in summer is full of wildlife.
From York, take the turning for the A1079 at the Hull roundabout on the ring road. Follow this past the sign for Barmby Moor and Pocklington. After the next roundabout, the Canal Head is on the right just opposite the Red House pub. You can park here on the right (marked in red on the map) and walk along the towpath from here. This upper part of the canal is quite overgrown but makes pleasant and easy walking.
Alternatively, take a different route down to the canal and park in Melbourne (see second map below).
