Location
The Heathers is easily located - from which ever direction you approach York - and the famous City Walls are approximately one mile away.
The guest house can be found half-way between the A1237 and the city centre - on the A19 York to Thirsk road.
For those visiting the centre [which is largely pedestrianised] the A19 has two car parks just outside the City Walls. Alternatively guests are allowed to leave their car in The Heathers car park and walk, take a taxi, or a bus.
There is a bus stop some 350 yards from the guest house - the bus service into York passes by approximately every 10 minutes.
A large 'Park and Ride' site is located a mile from The Heathers Guest House.
Leisure
Nearby, Clifton Moor supplies Multi-Screen Cinemas, Health and Fitness Facilities and a Ten-Pin Bowling Alley.
For those not left too tired by visiting York's many attractions, there are also a number of theatre/concert venues offering a wide choice of entertainment throughout the year.
The many leisure attractions within easy reach include Castle Howard and the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.
Easy access to the areas north of York - from Harrogate in the west, to Malton and Scarborough in the east - allows the best possible use of your holiday or business time.
