A classic 10 mile walk showcasing the unique and largely undiscovered Yorkshire Wolds. With glorious, gently undulating hills, the Yorkshire Wolds are charming, full of character and are not to be missed.
Starting from the pretty village of Millington we climb steeply up a hill to join the Yorkshire Wolds Way above Millington. This section of the walk offers fantastic views over the rolling hills of the Wolds and there are a series of accents and descents as we navigate our way down Sylvan Dale and up to Millington Heights following the course of the old Roman Road to Deep Dale. Deep Dale is a beautiful valley which we will circumnavigate to take full advantage of the views. Leaving Deep Dale, we climb to Bishop Wilton Wold and take a permissive path high above the village below. This affords fine views over the Vale of York and towards the Yorkshire Dales. Joining the Minster Way, we pass through the village of Great Givendale and its pretty church before a descent into the lovely valley of Given Dale, before another ascent and descent into Millington.
There are many ascents and descents on this walk and the walk is locally graded Moderate Plus, as there is 1550 ft of ascent and some rough tracks, particularly in access land at Deep Dale.
This walk is included in the ‘Walking East Yorkshire Festival’ and is therefore also open to members of the public. Members of the Ramblers do not need to book.
