Walks in East Yorkshire
Wharram Percy
The abandoned medieval village of Wharram Percy in the heart of the Yorkshire Wolds

I explored the walking haunts of East Yorkshire during the three years I spent living in Beverley. Naturally I concentrated on the Yorkshire Wolds for apart from flat seaside walks there seemed little more of any real interest. However, there were lots of good walks to be found when I took to time to look hard enough. Even in the suburbia of Hull I discovered some excellent walks. I believe I have covered the best of walking in East Yorkshire on these pages. If you live in East Yorkshire, or even just visiting, you may find one or two of the walks described on these pages to your liking. Go on, take a walk. You will be pleasantly surprised.

Easy Walks:

Brantingham and Elloughton Another lovely circular of the Yorkshire Wolds, again from another beautiful village just outside Hull.
