About

Clifton ward lies directly north of York's city centre, bordered by the River Ouse to the east. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of Victorian terraced housing and larger detached properties. Its streets are arranged in a consistent grid pattern, providing a structured layout. The presence of Bootham School, with its extensive playing fields, contributes significantly to the local landscape and community.

The ward is anchored by Clifton Green, a triangular common space at its southern edge, which serves as a focal point. Rawcliffe Country Park extends along its western boundary, offering open meadows and walking paths along the river. A notable local landmark is the Clifton Ings floodplain, a designated area of open washland that plays a crucial role in protecting the city from river flooding.
