Vale of York

With 28 circular, graded walks all tried and tested by seasoned walkers, this guidebook for the Vale of York and the Yorkshire Wolds will help you to make the most of a holiday or day out. Routes range from 4km (2.5 miles) up to 15.3km (9.5 miles), so there is a route to suit all abilities and available time. While most visitors to the area go to Yorkshire's two national parks, the flat plains of the Vale of York and the rolling uplands the Wolds are a great alternative, and still provide a huge diversity of scenery and walking opportunities. Highlights of the 28 walks shown include the coast at Flamborough Head, the deserted medieval village of Wharram Percy and the Pocklington Canal. Each walk includes a full description and an extract of the OS map for the route as well as notes and photos of key features not to miss. This is one of a series of Pathfinder Guides, which are Britain’s best-loved walking guides. Printed with weather-resistant covers featuring durable rounded corners, they are the perfect companion for country walking throughout Britain.
