Overview

This walk has a challenging hill climb just south of Bishop Wilton and with recent and prolonged rain has become muddy in places. Starting at Yapham we go through the countryside to Bishop Wilton. We then climb up the Minster Way to take in stunning views  from West Pasture and South Cliff. After walking through Great Givendale  we will join the Chalkland Way that will take us all the way into Pocklington. 

Leader is Mary
