Overview

The countryside between the Howardian Hills and the Yorkshire Wolds is undulating and surprisingly varied. There are some delightful ancient hollow way tracks through mainly arable farmland revealing occasionally distant views across the Vale of York. We will go through four charming villages, mainly on well made tracks and quiet roads. There is one particularly muddy but thankfully short patch, a ploughed field and two well ordered stiles to cross

Note: We use a booking system in case of last-minute changes to the walk details or for Covid, weather or car parking etc. Please book a place by contacting Allan Matthews on 07929983493, or via email (allldm14@gmail.com). Although we do accept walkers on the day.

Sorry no dogs.

Street parking in Westow The bridge at Kirkham Priory was closed (from 2nd April for 4 weeks, it said). It should be reopened in time for the 12th May, but I will be going via Buttercrambe (near Stamford Bridge) as a precaution.
