Ebor Way

Recreational Route: Yorkshire

Helmsley to Ilkley
112 km/70 miles
EASY

A gentle walk connecting the Cleveland Way and Dales Way through the low-lying but attractive countryside and woodland of the vale of York. The route runs southwards to the historic city of York itself -- the name of the trail is derived from York's Latin name of Eburacum -- then turns west via Tadcaster and Wetherby to Ilkley. It was first developed in the 1970s by the Ebor Acorn Rambling Club.
