A circular walk in East Yorkshire that climbs gently through woodland to Welton Wold and returns along the dry valley of Welton Dale. The village has many interesting features that you can read about on the display board near the start of the walk. Local folklore states that Dick Turpin was arrested here in Welton, before trial and execution in York. The paths are generally wide with good surfaces but the short section at the furthest point may be muddy and difficult after rain. This section could be avoided by using the concrete farm road that runs parallel to the footpath/bridleway here. There are three kissing gates, but no stiles on the walk. The Dale is used for livestock, which mostly keeps to the valley sides rather than the bottom. Allow 1.5 hours.Show more

A circular walk from Huggate that passes through dry valleys created around 18,000 years ago at the end of the Ice Age. These valleys, known locally as dales, are one of the highlights of the Yorkshire Wolds and lie between largely arable fields. The first half of the walk follows the Yorkshire Wolds Way and passes the Huggate Poetry Bench, one of several art works created for the WANDER project. There are some moderately steep descents and ascents into and out of the dales, and the paths are a mixture of field edges and tarmac drives. There are kissing gates and field gates on the route, but no stiles. One field is marked as a bull field and horses may be present in another (a road detour can avoid the horses). Allow three hours to enjoy the tranquility of the dales.Show more

A lovely hike but can be demanding - especially in hot weather. It can be completed in either direction providing different views of the gorgeous countryside. From valleys to woods and open paths this hike is a rewarding experience. There are some steep sections. The route is clear and dog friendly but be mindful of sheep and there maybe some cows too which we saw in one field but weren't a problem. Recommended.Show more
