Lovely place for a picnic or to come for some beautiful scenery... walks along the river or through the trees. Loads of seats to take in the view... popular with dog walkers 😊😊

A beautiful picnic area with a river and so much greenery. We went on a sunny day, with families with children swimming and playing in the river, dogwalkers enjoying nature, old and young. There's a parking area and very easy access which makes it extremely manageable for older folk.

Hard standing car park for plenty of cars, no public toilets, there is a small picnic area and when I visited there was a small van selling coffee , teas and cakes.
Great area to explore a variety of paths in the area, especially the old railway path. Some of the paths are suitable for all abilities including those in a wheelchair.

1st time to Malton Picnic Area and it's so lovely. Got there around 6pm on a Wednesday and, despite Google saying it was a busy time, got very easily parked - lots of spaces and wasn't busy at all. The old train line track is wonderful and the countryside and scenery is beautiful. Highly recommended for dog walking, walking generally, running, cyclists and just having a picnic! 🙂

It's a great place to park and then walk by the River Browney, or up on to the ridges each side of the valley along the railway track, cycle for more than 20 miles each way off road
