Overview

Where we will walk

Mainly tracks, field paths and lanes, with some forest paths.

We start walking SE the length of the village, then turn generally north north east towards the tiny village of Thorpe Bassett, ascending to 199m at Settrington Beacon. Much of this part of the route is along the Yorkshire Wolds Way. After turning west for a short distance and walking through Thorpe Bassett, we return to Settrington via Bassett Brow. There are a couple of sharp climbs on the way, and at one point the footpath has been made difficult in order to favour the local shoot.
