We are the Pocklington Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
The Pocklington Group are walking the Whitby Way in stages from York to Whitby. The Whitby Way starts at York Minster and finishes at Whitby Abbey, and it is designed to include some of the most interesting pilgrimage places in Yorkshire. It can, of course, be enjoyed simply as a walk, for it goes through beautiful scenery. From the flat Vale of York, it climbs to gently undulating country at Crayke, before crossing the North York Moors from south to north using field paths, moorland tracks and ancient paved ways. Finally, it follows the lush Esk Valley to Whitby.
A hired coach (charges apply) is being used to take walkers from the meeting point of each walk to the start point of each stage. Pre-booking on the walk is therefore essential. This stage is now fully booked.
