Overview

A pleasant evening walk around the Wheldrake area taking in woodland, farm tracks and the village itself.

We leave the village by walking towards York on the main road, sticking to the verge of the road. This is a relatively quiet road but it has the national speed limit and we will encounter traffic, so please be mindful of this, particularly if you want to bring a dog.

Once off the main road we walk along farmland, through the golf course and into the lovely Wheldrake Wood.
