We are the York Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

Circular walk from Pocklington to Millington. Leader Paula.
The path takes us along parts of the Chalkland Way, the Wilberforce Way and the Pilgrimage of Grace Heritage Trail. We visit Millington with its delightful church and on the way down we will go through the calm and interesting grounds of Kilnwick Percy. We may decide to lengthen the walk a little here, depending on conditions on the day.
The walk includes one steep pull up from Pocklington and another incline before lunch in Millington. The way down from Millington is a bit steep but as usual we'll take it all at a comfortable pace. Poles are recommended as it may be muddy going up and down through Pocklington Wood and in one or two other places. There is only one stile.
To reach Pocklington, catch the X46 bus from York Station (stop RC) at 09.30 or Merchantgate at 09.39. It is due to arrive at Pocklington bus depot at 10.20 and there are public toilets nearby. Please remember that the bus stops are now located a short way along Queen Street, so further from York station entrance than before and the Hull Road buses no longer go via Stonebow.
