The next area in the Feature Locations series is the village of Heslington that is located to the south of the city. The area has become a lot more vibrant due to the growing commuter nature as well as the expansion of the University of York.

Moving to Heslington

In modern times, Heslington has become a hive of activity due to the location of the University of York and its expanded second campus known as Heslington East that opened in 2009. There was an initial fear that Heslington would become swamped because of this but this hasn’t proved to the case with the centre instead providing adequate facilities for the extra student population. These facilities include pubs, banks, a post office amongst others.
