Overview

A lovely 9.5 mile walk in the Yorkshire Wolds. We head out of Huggate along a quiet road and soon descend a steepish path to Holm Dale. Following paths and tracks, we pass through the grounds of Wold House Farm, with its lifelike bronze statue of its former foreman. The walk continues on, heading downhill through the wooded Tundale and through the grassy valley of Frendal Dale and eventually pick up the Minster Way, which we follow back to the village.

This walk has beautiful views of classic Wolds scenery and is undulating, with some steepish uphill sections out of the valleys. It is very likely there will be livestock in the fields we pass through, so while dogs are welcome, they must be kept on a lead at all times.
