Overview

Meet at 10.30am at the Britannia car park adjacent to the bus station in the centre of Tadcaster for a pleasant 6.5mile walk.  

We cross over the main road and head north along the River Wharfe for about a mile, crossing over the A659 road onto the footpath up to a tiny little place called Smaws.  From here we head over to Rudgate taking in some lovely panoramic views.  We then head on to the very pretty village of Newton Kyme, through a gate and passing the church back down to the River Wharfe which we follow back to Tadcaster.
