 Most of the pictures were taken on a very dull day in January 2020.

You can walk down to Bishopthorpe from the centre of York.

Cross over to the west bank of the River Ouse via the Skeldergate Bridge

The 'new' St Andrew's Church, Bishopthorpe.

St Andrew's Church, Bishopthorpe, built by C. Hodgson Fowler in 1898-1902.

It has a large west tower and tiled roofs, a fine looking building.

The entrance to the Bishop's Palace, Bishopthorpe, south of York.

The ruins of the 'old' medieval church of St Andrew's, Bishopthorpe.

You find the ruins by walking down Chantry lane, that also brings you out onto the river bank of the Ouse.

The south facade of the chapel of Bishop's Palace, Bishopthorpe, with its medieval lancet windows.

There are three (more?) pubs in Bishopthorpe for 'refreshment'. Clockwise: The Marcia Inn - pub, Bishopthorpe The Ebor Inn - pub - restaurant, Bishopthorpe The Woodman Inn - pub, Bishopthorpe

We did not return to York via the River Ouse, but came north via the footpath alongside Bishopthorpe Road.

This enables to take in a few more buildings of interest in the York area.

Middlethorpe Hall on Bishopthorpe Road. This is a hotel, restaurant and spa club south of York.

This fine building dates from 1699.

The old Terry's chocolate factory on Bishopthorpe Road, York.

The buildings on the left are now known as 'THE RESIDENCE' - of apartments and penthouses, and even the clock tower is being redeveloped!

The buildings on the right have been developed as 'THE CHOCOLATE WORKS CARE VILLAGE', Bishopthorpe Road, York
