Overview

We'll walk around the back of the Plough Inn onto the public footpath which will take us into Allerthorpe Woods where we'll have a quick coffee stop with the Exmoor ponies. We continue along the track which takes us over farmland and down to the barge mooring site in Melbourne where we will have an early lunch. From there we'll walk along the canal into Pocklington town centre where we can partake in Christmas drinks and cake.

No dogs please.
