York

The Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is only a short drive away from our outdoor shop in York and the area is home to over 79 square miles of captivating woodlands, scenic villages and historic country houses. Plus, the Howardian Hills supports a range of wildlife, from the rarely spotted knapweed broomrape to the more common brown hare.

The Howardian Hills are also the gateway to the North York Moors National Park and the Ravenscar Epic. This 11-mile coastal walk from Ravenscar to Robin Hood’s Bay shows this beautiful National Park at its very best and you’ll love soaking up the clifftop views as you traverse the Cleveland Way. If you fancy more of a challenge, try scaling Urra Moor (Round Hill), which is the highest moor in the North York Moors. As a quick word of warning though, the Moors average over 100 days of rainfall per year. Don’t worry though, our outdoor clothing shop in York has all the waterproofs you could possibly need if the forecast changes.

If you’d rather stay in York itself, then try the Rowntree Walk. This showcases York’s famous history and the route takes you past locations associated with the Rowntree family, such as the ground-breaking Retreat psychiatric hospital, the Quaker burial ground and Rowntree Park.

If you’re heading on a walking holiday, then our outdoor shop in York can kit you out with everything you need to complete even the most challenging hikes. Whether you need new walking boots or you’ve forgotten your walking socks, our outdoor clothing shop in York has everything you need. So, if you’re looking for an outdoor clothing shop in York, look no further than Rohan York.
