Overview

This walk takes us from Melton to Brantingham and back, passing through the pretty village of Welton and the picturesque mediaeval church at Brantingham, and having lunch at Brantingham village pond. We will be treated to expansive views across the Humber Estuary, woodland paths and the rolling hills of the Yorkshire Wolds.

The walk is generally easy going and on good paths, although there are a couple of noticeable hills including a 100m climb straight after lunch ... but don't worry, we can take it at a steady pace and stop for breath when we get to the top (or at intervals on the way up if you need to!)
