Bishy Road
York’s Charming Local Gem
Bishopthorpe Road, situated just south of York’s ancient city walls, offers a delightful blend of independent shops, cafes, and businesses that have served the local community for over a century. Known affectionately as ‘Bishy Road,’ this vibrant area has thrived since the formation of its Traders Association in 2010, which has been instrumental in hosting renowned street parties and events.
Celebrated for its unique character, Bishy Road earned acclaim in 2015 by winning the GB High Street competition’s Local Parade category and being named the overall Winner of Winners. With a growing number of traders and a strong sense of community, Bishy Road continues to be a beloved destination for shopping, dining, and socialising in York.
