Summary
The Centenary Way is a route devised to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Yorkshire County Council. It was opened by Chris Brasher in 1989 to mark the centenary of governance by county councils. The route runs across the Howardian Hills and Yorkshire Wolds via Castle Howard and Wharram Percy, linking York and the Foss Walk with the Yorkshire Wolds Way and Cleveland Way National Trails. Meeting the River Derwent and River Foss, the walk combines riverside walks in deep valleys with forest tracks. Part of the route overlaps with the Wolds Way, which also ends at Filey along with the Cleveland Way. (Source: Wikipedia)
