Lying just a couple of miles southwest of York’s city walls, Dringhouses is a settled corner of the city that still retains a sense of its origin as a separate village on the old Roman road to Tadcaster. The area is defined largely by its proximity to the Knavesmire - a vast, open common that hosts the racecourse and provides a huge amount of green space for walking. Historically, the locality grew around the manor and the local brickmaking industry, and today it’s anchored by the distinctive spire of St Edward the Confessor church and the local library. It’s a practical spot for getting around, with the Sustrans cycle path running along the old railway line nearby and frequent buses heading into the city centre along Tadcaster Road. While it has its own small clusters of shops and a few long-standing pubs, it’s mostly a quiet residential stretch, sitting comfortably between the busy city and the Askham Bryan countryside.
