Because the river becomes more rural from this point I'll move away from the every 100 paces placing of photographs and put up the more interesting ones that are not just willow trees overhanging the river.
I have included this one as it is the first glimpse of autumn colours between Yearsley Grove and Haxby Road.
A handy signpost directs walkers in the correct direction as the path joins Haxby Road turn to the right and head towards New Earswick village.
Another sign of the previous navigability of the River Foss is the Lock Cottage just as you enter New Earswick village. The path no longer passes next to the lock and a small diversion around Lock Cottage is now required.
The river passes along the back of the village of New Earswick the model village set up by Joseph Rowntree for workers at The Cocoa Works.
The larger tree at the back is a Horse Chestnut tree (conker) can you make out the man with a broom sweeping up fallen leaves and conker shells.
This way marker shows the path serves several pathways, from the bottom up - Centennial Way, Ebor Way, Foss Way and MilleniumWay
