Yorkshire Wildlife Trust Yorkshire Wildlife Trust is a local charity working to protect Yorkshire’s wildlife, both on land and out at sea. With the support of members and volunteers, the trust cares for over 90 nature reserves across the county, and provides events and guided walks all year round. For more information on nature reserves, membership, volunteering and events visit ywt.org.uk
Yorkshire Nature Triangle Possibly our best kept secret, East Yorkshire is spoilt for choice when it comes to stunning wild locations and natural encounters. Come face to face with seabirds or spot porpoises on the Flamborough Headland, glimpse otters in the River Hull, scour mudflats filled with birds along the Humber Estuary or look skywards to red kites soaring above the Yorkshire Wolds. Alongside a warm Yorkshire welcome, events all year round and with the unexpected surprises that wildlife always offers, what will you discover during your visit to Yorkshire’s Nature Triangle? Visit yorkshirenaturetriangle.org.uk or follow @VisitYNT for more information.
Ride Yorkshire Ride Yorkshire is run by horse enthusiasts keen to encourage others to explore the beautiful Yorkshire countryside on horseback. The Wolds boasts some superb trail rides, and Ride Yorkshire provides leaflets to download for self-guided rides. There are several equestrian centres which give a great variety of riding experiences. For further information go to rideyorkshire.org.uk

The Pilgrimage of Grace Nine walks (one for each day of the festival) have been developed by the Pocklington Walkers are Welcome group. Each walk will have a leader and an introductory commentary at the start or an ongoing commentary en route from one of the heritage team members. The Pilgrimage of Grace is the name assumed by religious insurgents who, in 1536 in the North of England, opposed Henry VIII’s dissolution of the monasteries. The rebellion united every able bodied man in every parish of the East Riding and each parish has a contribution to make to this fascinating piece of history.
The Coastal Opportunities Gateway The Coastal Opportunities Gateway (COG) is an East Riding of Yorkshire Council project supporting businesses and enhancing the tourism offer in rural villages affected by natural coastal change. Our free guided walks will encourage people to explore the East Riding’s spectacular and dramatic coastline, and to look ahead to the opening of the England Coast Path in summer 2018. Reserve your place today. The COG runs until December 2016 and is funded through the Government’s Coastal Communities Fund (CCF). For more details go to www2.eastriding.gov.uk/cog.
Walking for Health The scheme is a series of free guided walks for all ages and abilities, aimed at anyone who has an interest in walking or wants to slowly introduce exercise into their daily routine as part of rehabilitation from illness, injury or to get fit. We offer a range of walks starting from 30 minutes to 2 hours. Walking is almost perfect exercise, requiring no expense, almost anyone can do it and it’s the best way for people from all walks of life to become more active gradually. For more information visit walkingforhealth.org.uk. For walks in the East Riding contact Laura Hutchinson on 01482 392527 or Email: [email protected]
