A fabulous 3.2 mile walk from the picturesque village of Welton takes in part of the Yorkshire Wolds Way National Trail.

The walk starts in the village of Welton in the Yorkshire Wolds. The village has an attractive village green, beck and church. The Green Dragon Inn is famous for the being the place Dick Turpin was arrested in 1739. At the time he was known only as John Palmer. His identity was revealed when his former schoolmaster recognised his handwriting as being Dick Turpin's!

The walk takes you through the village, up a wooded valley along the Yorkshire Wolds Way, then back down a parallel wooded valley. The woods are full of wildflowers in the spring.

The route is accessible for most people. The gradients are mostly gentle uphill (6%), with one steeper section on road downhill (13%)and there are no steps or stiles. There are three kissing gates that can be fully opened using a RADAR key. In wet weather the wooded sections can become muddy - the walk is best done in dry weather.
