This circuit uses parts of the clearly signed Centenary Way and Ebor Way, as well as some less well-used field paths, which may test your route-finding skills. Fact File Distance 16km (10 miles) Undulating field paths and woodland bridleways Terrain with some marshy areas. Time 4½ hours Stiles 5 Grading *** Moderate Suitable for all – Be aware of horses on the bridleways Parking area on the Avenue near Coneysthorpe Start/Parking crossroads, adjacent to the Great Lake at Castle Howard (grid.ref: SE 707 712) Nearest Town Malton http://www.dalestrails.co.uk/Terrington.htm 1/4 10/10/2017 Dales Trails Refreshments Bay Horse Inn, Terrington (Alas, this pub is closed and up for sale - Sept 2012) and 'Back 'o' the Shop' Cafe & Gallery, Terrington Toilets none on the route Stephensons 183/184 (not Sundays) - two Public buses from Malton serving Castle Howard & Transport Terrington. Map OS Explorer 300 Howardian Hills & Malton Route created using TrackLogs Digital Mapping Image reproduced with kind permission of Ordnance Survey and Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland. 1. (Start) From the parking area cross the road, pause to admire the view of Castle Howard across the lake, and then walk back to the crossroads and turn right for Coneysthorpe. Walk along the road for about ¼ mile to Coneysthorpe and there turn left up the side of the large village green. For the first leg of this walk you follow the Centenary Way. Go past the small chapel onto a track, which dips to the left then follows a straight course up the side of fields towards the wooded Coneysthorpe Bank. At the wood the path turns left then right. ‘No Right of Way’ signs ensure that you do not go astray. You are now faced with a steady climb up the wooded hillside. http://www.dalestrails.co.uk/Terrington.htm 2/4 10/10/2017 Dales Trails 2. (2.8km/1¾miles): You emerge from the wood on top of the ridge where there are extensive views north over Ryedale to the North York Moors. Turn left here, to follow the Centenary Way along the ridge towards Slingsby Bank. At this road continue straight on along the woodland fringe. In fact you will maintain this direction for a couple of miles, crossing straight over the next lane (SP Baxton Howe). 3. (4.9km/3miles): Continue along the ridge until Wath Wood appears on the right. Here a bridleway (no signpost), initially overgrown doubles back left. Persevere and things improve, as the path swings round Hollin Hill into more open country with views across towards Airyholme Farm. Turn left at a junction of paths, then at the edge of the wood go right down a very sandy track passing ponds on either side. Continue straight ahead towards Howthorpe Farm on the bank-top ahead. Here there is a choice of several routes to Terrington. 4. (7.1km/4½miles): Go to the right of the farmhouse where a small stile gains entry to a field and walk down to another stile (footpath SP). Your target now is diagonally across the next field – a stile by a gate in the bottom corner, by a stream, Wath Beck. Cross the stile, and walk along the bottom of the field adjacent to the beck – again it can be quite wet underfoot. Halfway along the field edge the path turns right to cross the beck by a well-constructed ‘double-footbridge’. Opposite the footbridge a clear path heads straight up a hillside. From the top there are good views all round. From there the path goes through a gate and drops down to join a bridleway near Rose Cottage. Take the diversion behind the wall, past a tennis court, and back onto the lane. Pass Low Water, which may have originally provided the power for the former sawmill, now Sawmill Cottage and up the lane into Terrington. 5. (9.4km/5¾miles): Seats on the village green provide a good spot for lunch. Alternatively, The Bay Horse public house is down the road to the right, but being walkers with muddy boots I suggest you go via the back way! Just across the green a narrow alleyway leads between houses through to South Back Lane. Walk down this lane and you come the rear of the Inn with its car park and beer garden. To continue the walk, take the alleyway through to South Back Lane and walk down to its junction with Mowforth Lane. Here continue across into South Back Lane (East). Just past the last cottage a footpath sign indicates the way across fields to Ganthorpe. 6. (10.8km/6¾miles) Cross over the road, by the tiny triangular green with its horse chestnut tree and walk past Ganthorpe Hall. At a bridleway sign turn left and head down through trees passing several small ponds. Go through a gate (Bull in field warning) and along a muddy track by a small wood. Take the footpath right through a small gate and walk straight up the cultivated field towards the wire fence at the top. Turn along by the fence to another gate into open pasture. Straight ahead across the dip can be seen a gate in the Estate wall below a wooded ridge. Head downhill and go through this gate, making sure it is secure behind you. The path continues along a wide ride through the woods, to climb surprisingly steeply up through the trees to a stile into open fields. From here you can look down to where your car is parked with Castle Howard Lake beyond. Head straight down the field towards the bottom corner of the woodland on the left – you may just be able to see a white gate in the wall – aim for this. But this gate is not your exit – just before it, a footbridge takes you left, into the wood by an oddly placed footpath sign from where a narrow path weaves through the trees to the road. Turn downhill to the crossroads and the parking area opposite the lake. (16km/10miles) http://www.dalestrails.co.uk/Terrington.htm 3/4 10/10/2017 Dales Trails Along the Way Castle Howard Castle Howard, with its immense façade, is one of England’s grandest and best-known houses. Designed by Sir John Vanbrugh and built between in 1699 and 1726, for the 3rd Earl of Carlisle, it has remained the home of the Howard family for 300 years. Terrington An attractive village largely built of local stone in the 18th and 19th centuries, with a triangular green at its western end.

  • Route Overview
    From FORELAND to CAPE - an end to end walk across Britain from South Foreland (Dover) to Cape Wrath Linda Brackenbury Disclaimer: All details are given in good faith. However no activity can be completely hazard-free so undertaking any part of this route is done entirely at your own risk and I accept no responsibility for errors, loss or injury however caused. Route Overview Cape Wrath Cluanie Inn Croy Hexham Malton Oakham London Farnham Dover 1 Having completed walking from Land’s End to John O’Groats, an end to end walk from the most south-easterly point of England to Scotland's north-west extremity seems the obvious successor. Furthermore, this walk was to be done in sections of about two weeks. Thus an important requirement was the ability for the start and finish point of each section to have good transport links. Having stayed westward up to the Scottish border and then gone up the centre of Scotland on the Land's End to John O'Groats walk, the choice for this new trek was to adopt a more easterly route in England followed by a more westerly route through Scotland. Using this approach, coupled with a wish to avoid London, the inland start/end points evolved as Farnham, Oakham, Malton, Hexham, Croy (in Scotland's Central Belt) and the Cluanie Inn in Glen Shiel. The walk commenced in 2013 and was completed over four years and obviously the route described relates to the conditions found when walked. I was accompanied up to Croy by Gwen, my usual walking companion, but after she got injured Gill took over for the final two sections.

The Register provides an Wannual snapshot of historic sites known to be at risk from neglect, decay or inappropriate development. Nationally, there are more barrows on the Register than any other type of site. The main risk to their survival is ploughing. The good news is that since 2014 we have reduced the number of barrows at risk by over 130, by working with owners and, in particular, Natural England to improve their management. This picture is repeated in Yorkshire, where the greatest concentration of barrows at risk is in the rich farmland of the Wolds.

  • Yorkshire Coast & North York Moors
    Yorkshire Coast & North York Moors including the Howardian Hills Includes five OS mapped routes inside Flying high on Rosedale Bank Top Steam train in Newtondale Great days... outdoors The dramatic cliffs and sheltered coves of the rugged North Yorkshire coast define the eastern edge of the most extensive swathe of heather moorland in England, cared for since 1952 as the North York Moors National Park. Dissected by distinctive dales and with an abundance of forest and woodland, including the enchanting Dalby – the Great Yorkshire Forest, it’s an inspirational place for an active break or longer holiday enjoying an unrivalled choice of fresh air adventures. Accessible by train, the well known seaside resorts of Whitby, Scarborough and Filey are good jumping off points for both coastal and inland exploration. The ancient market town of Pickering lies at the southern end of a rather special steam railway that transports you into the heart of the North York Moors (and onward to Whitby). Kirkbymoorside, Helmsley, Osmotherley, Great Ayton, Guisborough and Saltburn all make good bases depending on your blend of activities, as do numerous fishing and other picturesque villages. Stretching out from the south western corner of the North York Moors, and not far from York, are the more gently rolling Howardian Hills. Designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in 1987, its woodlands, pastures and historic houses in parkland settings (good for rest and rainy days), offer their share of easier routes to try. Malton market town has a station from which to enter this hidden area. Our efforts to revive your body, mind and spirit don’t stop there.
