Overview

The walk starts at Castle Howard taking in Centenary Way, Pretty Wood and Welburn. We walk mostly on good tracks and across fields, some with cows and calves. The walk is mainly flat but there are some ups and downs with a steepish climb to rejoin Centenary Way before making our way back to Castle Howard.  There are no stiles but there is mud in places especially in the woods. There are toilets at Castle Howard and we may have time for refreshments at the end.  

No dogs please.
