We are the York Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Washburn Walk
We start from Swinsty Reservoir car park (charges apply) climbing up passed Scow Hall, along Top Lane and through Norwood Edge Plantation to reach Prospect House Farm. From here we traverse on field tracks above Lindley Wood Reservoir, before dropping down to cross the Washburn River and climb back up the other side passed Crag Farm to traverse along above the opposite side of the reservoir. We pass the remains of Dob Park Lodge before dropping down passed Midge and Washburn Farms to cross back over the Washburn, which we then follow back to Swinsty dam and on to the car park.
About 10.5 miles, mainly field paths with a couple of stretches of quiet road, some stiles and probably plenty of mud.
Assistance Dogs Only
