Overview

 Main Circular Walk: the route begins at Stainton le Vale, along a narrow lane to Stainton Hall, then onto Otby Top and Normanby le Wold for lunch. Return passed the old cottage in the woods, and quiet roads and tracks to the start.

Linear Walk: this begins with the main walk (10 am start), but finishes at Normaby le Wold (a distance of about 5.5 miles). Those who want to, can stay with the main walk down to the old cottage in the woods where snowdrops are in abundance, then return to Normanby le Wold (an extra distance of about 1.8 miles).
