A historic village beside the University of York, where traditional buildings meet landscaped campuses, research facilities and lakeside paths.
Heslington is a historic village south-east of York city centre within the City of York council area, beside the University of York.
Traditional village streets, Heslington Hall and historic buildings meet landscaped university campuses, lakes, research facilities and modern academic spaces.
Heslington has two closely connected identities: a historic village and a major university setting. Traditional streets, church and older buildings sit beside landscaped campuses, lakes and modern research facilities.
This contrast gives the area a character unlike other York villages. Green space remains prominent throughout, and the campus landscape provides a broad, open setting between the village, Fulford and the eastern city edge.
