Distance: 3.86 miles

Time: 2 hours

Map: OS 294

This, there & back again walk, is the first part of the Minster & Chalkland Ways Loop, which, I discovered, has a stile at the end- OK for humans & small dogs that can be lifted- not big fellas like Bill! This lovely linear walk explores the best bits!

Distance: 3.28 miles

Time: 1.5 hours

Distance: 4.4 miles

Time: 2 hours 15 minutes

Start / End: Millington Wood car park

Distance: 5.25miles

Time: 2.5 hours

  Start / End: Londesborough Village

Distance: 1.95 miles

Time: 1 hour

Time: 1.5 hours

Map: OS 295

This was meant to be a round walk from Nunburnholme, but as the name suggests, it's now a thin, there-and-back-again one, as halfway we encountered a busy road. I wanted to include it though as Nunburnholme has some fascinating history.

 Start / End: Sutton Road- Allerthorpe Woods

Distance: 2 miles

Time: 45 mins

Visiting the poetry bench near South Cave is just one of the highlights of this walk along Comber and Drewton Dale, which also delivers stunning views all the way across to the River Humber.

Allerthorpe Woods and Tracks

 Start / End: Sutton Road- Allerthorpe Woods

Distance: 2 miles

Time: 45 mins

Map: OS 294

This lovely walk takes the smaller woodland tracks, so whilst it is not as accessible as our other Allerthorpe walks, it is flat and offers a peaceful, off-lead stroll in glorious woodland, plus, in late summer, great bramble picking! 

Field House Square

 Start / End: Field House Coffee Barn, Tibthorpe

Distance: 7.09 miles

Time: 3 hours

Map: OS 294

Starting and ending at Field House Coffee Barn, this bracing walk travels along easy paths with wide open views . Great for off-lead running and the welcome bonus of a pit stop half way round at the Star Inn, North Dalton

5 Dales near Huggate

Start / End: Millington Dale

Distance: 6.15 miles

Time: 3 hours

Map: OS 294

This is a beautifully peaceful walk that explores Nettle, Frendal, Tun, Horse and Pasture Dales using the Yorkshire Wolds and Chalkland Ways. You may encounter curious cows but these can be avoided if you divert via the road at the end.
