York Ramblers - Castle Howard

This is a circular walk from Castle Howard Car Park.  Leaving the CP we head to the Gate House then walk along a track to Low and High Gaterley. Then heading past Easthorpe Hall we walk along the edge of Coneysthorpe Banks Wood before descending to Coneysthorpe.  We then pick up a track at the side of the road back to the CP.  The walk is just under 9 miles with about 700 ft of ascent.     It will be Muddy in some parts

Castle Howard Car Park is FREE (no time limit) for all those visiting the courtyard and garden centre - see you all at the Castle Howard Cafe after the walk

 At the end of the walk there will be mince pies and a glass of sherry or port to celebrate our last muddy walk before Christmas. Any donations made to the ‘festive refreshments’ will go directly to Emma’s JustGiving Page - just look out for Lesley and her red donation box!
