About

Osbaldwick is a residential suburb situated to the east of York's city centre, bordered by the University of York's Heslington campus and the open fields of the York Green Belt. The area is characterised by a mix of post-war housing estates, modern developments, and older village core elements, providing homes for families, university staff, and students. Its layout includes local shops, schools, and community facilities centred along Osbaldwick Lane and Tang Hall Lane, serving the immediate neighbourhood's practical needs.

The community retains a distinct identity separate from the adjacent university, with St. Thomas's Church representing a historic focal point. A notable local feature is the "Osbaldwick Drain," a watercourse that threads through the area, influencing the layout of green spaces and footpaths. The suburb offers direct access to the wider network of cycle routes and country walks leading into the surrounding agricultural landscape, emphasising its position on the edge of the city.
