Overview

The walk starts at the bakery in Holme on Spalding Moor near the bus stop. From there we will walk through countryside and the old railway routes for 6miles to Shiptonthorpe  where some walkers may take the opportunity to return from here on the bus. Continuing on for  another mile brings us to  Londesborough  at approx 1pm for lunch. After lunch is  a 3mile  stroll to  Market Weighton that takes in a little of the Wolds Way. This a gentle flat walk with no stiles.
