From the Market Square this New Year circular walk heads north through Millfield Park and over fields to Thornton Hill Lane. After a short walk along the road our route takes us north east to Thornton Lodge Farm, before which we will take a short stop for drinks before heading over fields towards Oulston. On reaching the village we head west along a lane in the direction of Husthwaite where we will stop for lunch before heading south on our return to Easingwold. After a short walk along North Moor Road we reach a footpath which takes us back to Millfield Lane and to the cars in the Market Square.
