Overview

This part of the Wanderlust way starts at Wold Newton, North Lincolnshire and passes through Hawerby cum Beesby, Ashby cum Fenby and East Ravendale.

The walk generally follows field edge paths, tracks and some minor roads. It is relatively easy in an undulating landscape, some narrow lanes, woodland valleys and windy hilltops. Extensive views of the Humber Estuary.
