We visit the site every year as York is one of our favourite cities and this site is on the doorstep. Their are great walks for the dogs along the river and further. Out of the back gate is a little community of its own with dog friendly pubs. The city itself is beautiful, well worth a visit. My only issue was that the wardens allowed emergency plots to be used, not advertised, that can infringe upon what you think is your privacy, some of the roads which have a gate at the end can be used for other vehicles so if that bothers you don't pick a plot next to one.
