Overview

Join us for a circular walk around Wintringham, Thorpe Bassett, Rillington and Scampston Hall. We’ll start with a steady climb alongside a wildflower meadow to the scuptures and enclosure rites atop Knapton Brow before descending to Wintringham for a coffee stop at the church. We shall continue on the Yorkshire Wolds Way for a while and  then through the lovely villages of Thorpe Bassett,  Rillington, and the grounds of Scampston Hall back to the start.
