Rawcliffe Country Park

Rawcliffe Country Park is a great site with huge potential, and an indoor space should the bad weather catch us out!! The Country Park is situated in a large green corridor of open space, along which the River Ouse flows. It consists of many different habitats, including playing fields and wildflower meadows. Together they offer an unrivalled selection of green places, which are the perfect place to go and explore the river or sit and enjoy the tranquil surroundings.
