Yore Vision and its members are delivering a fascinating series of interpretive waymarked trails along the River Ure. Each starts with a high profile panel in Boroughbridge and surrounding key Parishes and is accompanied by a glossy leaflet, which unlocks the fascinating hidden history and landscape along the river for locals and visitors with the aim to encourage exercise and economic regeneration.

 

This has been an amazing collaborative effort by volunteers of Boroughbridge Town Council, Parish Councils, Yore Vision along with support from Harrogate Borough Council and North Yorkshire County Council. 

 

The Project Group was successful in securing nearly 50% of the funding from Yorkshire Forward as part of their Renaissance Market Town Programme.  The remaining funding has come from a variety of sources including the Town and Parish Councils, local businesses, North Yorkshire County Council and Harrogate Borough Council.  With this current the Project Group have developed the interpretive waymarked trails at: Gt Ouseburn, Lower Dunsforth, Langthorpe, Aldborough, Devils Arrows and Roecliffe. The Project Group are continuing to seek further funding to develop trails at Aldwark, Myton and Staveley.

 

The Project Group, to celebrate what has been achieved so far, are having a launch on 12^th May, 6.30pm at one of the Interpretation board's locations, Boroughbridge Library at St James Square. Those attending will be able to view all the panels and leaflets, which will be displayed inside the library.
