Starting from Hovingham we will walk eastwards before turning to the north to pass South Holme Farm, after which there will be a short ascent to Caulkleys Lane before descending to West Ness. We then walk alongside the River Rye to Nunnington where we turn south and head up to Caulkleys Wood. After Stonegrave and passing by the Minster, we meander across Hovingham Carrs back to the start.

Generally good underfoot but with a tendency to become muddy in parts after periods of rain.

No dogs apart from Registered Assistance Dogs with the consent of the leader.
