Overview

A circular walk taking in four 'Ways' including Chalklands, Yorkshire Wolds, Minster and Wilberforce Way. Panoramic  views can be enjoyed  on clear days over the Vale of York.

The walk starts with a steep climb out of Millington and continues for a mile along a quiet road. We head through woods to Nunburnholme church, then onto the village green with benches for the elderly amongst us  for lunch !

Our return walk offers the best views and an information board  offering interesting reading on The Pilgrimage of Grace, a Yorkshire rebellion against Henry VIII in 1536.

The walk draws to a close with a steep but steady climb along  the Chalklands Way and finishes retracing our steps down the steep hill we first climbed.
