Overview

This walk will be led by Gill Bradish. We leave Bishop Wilton with a bit of a climb out along Worsendale Road and after crossing the A166 we arrive at Cheese Cake Wold before dropping down to Kirby Underdale. We then have another ascent up towards Lower Sleights Farm before we join the Chalkland Way towards Bugthorpe and finally returning to Bishop Wilton, Some fine views across this part of the Yorkshire Wolds and three pretty villages.
