We are the Midlife Hikers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

Visit the suburb of Acomb, with it's pockets of surprises, in York, where we start and finish this evening walk. We start at Acomb Green and head towards the centre where we discover the latest street artwork. From here we wind local streets before reaching the expansive Hob Moor. We cross over the Moor and head over the bridge before reaching the lovely Railway Pond. Finding ourselves back onto Hob Moor, we then make our way to West Bank Park and pick our route through the peaceful gardens. After exiting the park we will visit the Holgate Windmill before heading back to the start of the walk via the streets of Acomb.
