TRANSPORT LINKS

Thanks to being on the A19 and having the retail park, there are a number of bus routes that frequently pass through Clifton, making access to the city centre easy on public transport. This also makes for simple access to the A1237 ring road and getting out of York towards Leeds, the North York Moors or further afield. Clifton is close to the main York train station and Leeds Bradford International Airport is just 45 minutes away.

HISTORY

Excavations in the area and evidence of timber buildings have shown that Clifton was occupied during Roman times and there were roads built through the area to the fortress in York. This didn't lead to expansion of the area but a Clifton Windmill was built in the late 14th century and ran from here until 1852 and has since been demolished. The church in the village was built in the late 1800s.

DID YOU KNOW?

The old village has been a Conservation Area since 1968.
