Wow! What a great website! I have lived next to Hob Moor for 3 years and didn't know most of the things you have on here! Will certainly be looking on here again. Its a great view all year round especially when cows are out, they can't resist poking their heads over my fence. Great for the kids too just a shame there are an ever increasing amount of gangs that hang around at the moor entrance. Wouldn't mind finding out more details on the history of Hob moor, any suggestions?

I grew up on North Lane in a house which faces out onto Hob Moor. The stray was my childhood stomping ground, good memories from kicking around a football with my father, kissing my first girlfriend, or the annual bonfires of the late eighties, early nineties.
Hob Moor will always be a big part of my personal history and is as important to me today as it was in my childhood.
Fantastic place.

We've moved opposite the South end of the Racecourse recently and the last couple of nights we've had lovely walks on Hob Moor. It's a beautiful place, and we look forward to exploring the rest of it! This is a lovely website, too - as I see someone else has said - and we'll join the Friends as soon as we have some spare money.

My former residence looked over Hob Moor between Holly Bank and Green Lane unfortunately the friends of Hob Moor had not been formed then, I had many happy years [25] enjoying the pleasures and watching others do the same of this much valued area of naturel beauty, from the windows I would watch the very illusive Kingfisher feeding on Sticklebacks in the stream, on the tall sunbleached grass on the landside of the beck I was fornunate enough to find and watch to fruition the nesting and the rearing of young of the harvest mouse, I have seen the Common Newt begin its courtship in the clearness of the water as the male sporting its red flash persued it future mate. You do see baby pigeons, in fact my wife Ann and I were privileged enough to see the show as the nest was only about 3metres from our bedroom window and were there when the single fledging left. Keep up the brilliant work FHB it would be such a loss to all both young and old.

Sam, I too remember the woods with the model railways. It was my favourite place to play, until they fenced it off for a load of "steam buffs".
Not to worry, me and your brother had at least 3 dens on the little moor. One of the dens being an arsenel of crab apples unrivaled on the rest of the moor.
Ps, your dog bengy was a right miserable mutt.

Hi, Is the railway open to the public? I had a polite nosy at the area this evening but all seemed rather private and locked away. When I'd searched on the internet there was absolutely no history or evidence of the place what so ever...how strange!
Comment by admin Hi Sam, they are called York Model Engineers and their website is http://www.yorksme.org.uk/index.htm

Hi, I have just moved to the hob moor area and always remember as a child the small model railway in the woods. I wondered if you could tell me if this still exists.
Thankyou.
Comment by admin Hi Sam, yes, the model railway does still exist in the copse situated on the south site of the moor via North Lane, I think.
