Overview

A hilly circular walk on the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds from the market town of Pocklington.

We leave Pocklington following the Chalkland Way through the Kilnwick Percy Golf Club. We then follow a country lane past Kilnwick Percy Hall up onto the Wolds above Millington, where we will hopefully be rewarded with impressive views over the village and beyond.

We leave the Chalkland Way, and follow the Minister Way through Millington and into Givendale. We will have a stop at St Ethelburga's Church, where hopefully the late winter aconites 🌼 will be in bloom.

We then rejoin the Chalkland Way following it back to Pocklington via Pocklington Woods.
