Overview

This is mostly a flat walk with just a couple of gradual climbs and a few stiles. We start in Welburn and walk across fields to the Centenary Way with views of Castle Howard. There is a short section of road walking before taking a path through Brandrith Wood and then field paths to Bulmer where we will have a coffee stop. The cake lady may have her stall out so bring change if you wish to buy something. We leave Bulmer by a quiet road then cross fields to Bulmer Hagg and follow paths back to Welburn for our lunch stop. After lunch we proceed to Pretty Wood then join the Centenary Way  again to make our way to Castle Howard.. It is muddy in places so gaiters and poles are recommended. No dogs please.
