Overview

The walk, led by Diane Stone,  is from Boston Spa and  we will start from The Fox and Hounds Pub which is at the far end of the High Street.

We will walk along the main A659 road until we turn off to go to Newton Kyme, where we can admire the grand houses and a 13th century church. We walk along the river Wharfe until we arrive at a bridge (new) which we cross and  where we will  be stopping for our lunch on the grass if not too wet.

We continue the walk by crossing the A659 to visit Smaws and go along an old Roman Rd to Rudgate and the tiny settlement  of Toulston gradually drawing closer to the main road and Boston Spa.

Walk starts at 11am. Just over 7 miles.  

 2 stiles.
