Parking.

It should be possible to park a car in Riccall quite easily, but please avoid just outside the last house just before the off-road section starts. Notices there will advise you.

There is a car park at the old Escrick station, right next to the track.

If you’re planning to cycle the whole solar system model from the York end then it may be possible to park down Simbalk Lane, beyond the new buildings of York College.

Or park behind the race course and add a couple more miles off-road across the Knavesmire - follow signs to Selby on Route 65 of the national cycle Network.

Tesco’s at Askham Bar is close to the Sun and the start of the solar model, but of course, parking restrictions apply. Similarly there is a big Park and Ride car park there, with similar restrictions.

Bike hire is possible in York from the International youth hostel and some of the bike shops in town. You can also rent bikes at the station.

Crossing the racetrack on route 65 on the way to the Sun from York.

Parking should be available behind the racecourse stands.
