Centre that provides good quality accommodation for up to 130 people. The
residence is located in a beautiful area of York close to the internationally
famous Knavesmire racecourse. We
will be proposing an interesting and varied programme for cyclists and walkers
in the usual tradition of Oscar. We hope to be able to offer different levels of
difficulty for both groups of participants with the option of relaxing in York
for those who do not want to take part in strenuous activity.
