Overview

This  walk  starts in Bugthorpe village on the pavement in front of the Church.

A lovely circular walk in a little visited area of the Yorkshire Wolds. From the pretty village of Bugthorpe the route taken is northwards on footpaths leading to the Chalklands Way. Walking eastwards we walk to lower Sleights Farm before heading towards Baffham Plantation. From Glebe Farm there is a short stretch along a quiet country lane,before following a series of footpaths past Longhowes Plantation  to Barf Lane and back to the village.
