The county is famed for its rolling chalk hills \u2013 the Yorkshire Wolds<\/a> \u2013 as well as its sweeping vales and over 50 miles of characterful coastline.<\/p>\n The Yorkshire Wolds Way is the county\u2019s best-known trail, but there are many more great walks in the area. Here are a few of our favourites to get you started.<\/p>\n 13 miles\/21km | 6\u20137 hours hours | challenging<\/em><\/p>\n This 13-mile walk starts at the village of Millington in the East Riding of Yorkshire, heading north-east to another Yorkshire village, Huggate, before returning south. The route passes through 11 dales and includes locations made famous by the English painter David Hockney.<\/p>\n Millington and Huggate walking route and map<\/a><\/p>\n 8.5 miles\/13.7km | 6 hours | moderate<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n A moderate-level 8.5-mile walk through the Yorkshire Wolds. The artist David Hockney loves the landscape here, and one of his largest and most famous paintings was based on a scene from this walk.<\/p>\n Water walking route and map<\/a><\/p>\n You may also like:<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div> <\/section> 7.7 miles\/12.4km | 4.5 hours | moderate<\/em><\/p>\n Fridaythorpe village is on the A166 and about a mile beyond the turning for the village of Thixendale<\/a>. Turn left at the Farmers Arms and park opposite the village pond. Fridaythorpe is the highest of the Wolds villages.<\/p>\n This 7.7-mile walk is especially magical in January and February when snowdrops<\/a> fill the landscape, marking the onset of spring.<\/p>\n Fridaythorpe walking route and map<\/a><\/p>\n 10 miles\/16.4km | 5-6 hours | moderate-challenging<\/em><\/p>\n This walk takes you through one of the most scenic valleys of the Wolds. Take the A1069 from York, heading east. As you approach Shiptonthorpe, look for the left turn to Londesborough. From here, a short drive, then a quick right and left, leads you on a narrow country road to Londesborough and Nunburnholme.<\/p>\n The village of Londesborough, nestled among woodland, is well worth a visit as it is quite entrancing. It\u2019s well known to Yorkshire Wolds Way hikers as the route deliberately diverts them through it.<\/p>\n Londesborough and Nunburnholme walking route and map<\/a><\/p>\n 6 miles\/9.8km | 4 hours | moderate-challenging<\/em><\/p>\n This walk at the western edge of the Yorkshire Wolds is probably one of the area\u2019s more demanding routes. To get to the start of the walk, turn off the A166 at the top of Garrowby Hill, signed \u2018Millington\/Pocklington\u2019. Head south along the Roman Road \u2013 they did seem to like it here. About half way down the road you can pull onto the grass verge opposite Callis Wold farm, leaving room for tractors to turn.<\/p>\n This is farming and rambling country. There are no campgrounds, hotels or trinket shops, but instead homely pubs and the Ramblers Rest<\/a> restaurant and tearooms at Millington \u2013 this is a good option for anyone interested in staying in the area.<\/p>\n Deep Dale and Bishop Wilton walking route and map<\/a><\/p>\n 2.4 miles\/3.9km | 1.5 hours | easy-moderate<\/em><\/p>\n The name Flamborough is thought to come from \u2018Flaneberg\u2019, possibly from the Saxon word flaen meaning an arrow \u2013 which when you look at the area on a map it certainly resembles. It is a promontory of eight miles on the Yorkshire coast and Britain\u2019s only northern chalk sea cliff. It is famous as a nesting site for thousands of seabirds<\/a> and, as the most easterly headland in Yorkshire, it is a great spot to see migrating birds<\/a> too.<\/p>\n Flamborough Head is a Local Nature Reserve (LNR) as well as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), protected for its wildlife and its geology \u2013 the spectacular cliffs are formed from chalk deposited 70-90 million years ago. In August 2006, a lightning bolt hit one of the cliffs and sent 100 tonnes of rock crashing into the sea.<\/p>\n Flamborough Head walking route and map<\/a><\/p>\n By James Bradley Published: Sunday, 30 January 2022 at 12:00 am East Riding of Yorkshire \u2013 also known as East Yorkshire, or East Riding \u2013 is a county in north-east England.
