A circular walk, leaving from the village hall in Wass, we head uphill through mature woodland and some hopefully stunning autumn colours 🍂 to a hidden observatory. We then cross farm land and another climb to Scotch Corner, a beautiful secret chapel with stunning vistas. From here, the walk drops down to Oldstead village, before returning to Wass via Byland Abbey.
🅿️ There is a small car park at the village hall, please bring cash for the honesty box, or if full then alternative parking is available on the road through the village. Please park considerately, and consider car-sharing or coming by bus if possible.
🚌 31X bus from York (Station Avenue) at 09:46
