Overview

Join us on a five hills circular walk from Fridaythorpe passing through classic Yorkshire Wolds landscapes in an area of outstanding natural beauty. This circular walk will involve walking up and down several hills, total ascent 410 metres. You will be rewarded with fine views and a chance to walk along several chalkland valleys. The route will be along the Yorkshire Wolds Way, heading due west towards Gill’s Farm, then down Thixendale with views of the Waves and Time artwork to Thixendale village. Leaving Thixendale we stay on the Yorkshire Wolds/Centenary Way before joining the Chalkland way. We then turn south down the Centenary way, then up to Paradise Cottage before a descent to Brubber Dale before rejoining the Wolds Way to take us back up to Fridaythorpe.
