Overview

A chance to get away from the Bank Holiday crowds, this is a pleasant walk through a typical Yorkshire Wolds landscape of attractive dales and sweeping wold top landscapes, with some views as far as the Sir Tatton Sykes Monument near Sledmere. We start the walk from the highest village on the Yorkshire Wolds (it also has one of the deepest wells), so no surprise, from village we head downhill to Cow Dale, then along to Oxlands Dale continuing along the Chalklands Way to meet the Yorkshire Wolds Rangers Way just south of Wetwang. We then head south along the Rangers Way and return to Huggate via Deep Dale.
