Welcome to Knavesmire

Knavesmire is a large open space located in the city of York, North Yorkshire. It is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, offering a range of activities and events throughout the year. The area is particularly well-known for its racecourse, which hosts a number of prestigious horse racing events each year. In addition to this, Knavesmire is also home to a number of sports facilities, including football pitches, tennis courts, and a skate park.

One of the most notable features of Knavesmire is its rich history. The area has been used for various purposes over the years, including as a site for public executions and as a military training ground. Today, visitors can still see evidence of this history in the form of the Knavesmire Stone, a large boulder that is said to have been used as a marker for the execution site. The stone is now a protected monument and serves as a reminder of the area's past.

Despite its historical significance, Knavesmire is also a vibrant and modern space. In addition to the racecourse and sports facilities, the area is also home to a number of festivals and events throughout the year. These include the York Balloon Fiesta, which sees hot air balloons take to the skies above Knavesmire, and the York Food and Drink Festival, which showcases the best of local cuisine. With so much to see and do, Knavesmire is a must-visit destination for anyone visiting North Yorkshire.
