3.55mi Sherburn in Elmet Circular Walk Sherburn in Elmet Circular Walk – Easy 3.55-Mile Route Me and Lyn did this Sherburn in Elmet Circular Walk at the end of August. It’s an easy 3.55-mile circular route with only around 175 feet of climbing, so it’s a good option if you want a walk that doesn’t involve too much effort. There is quite a bit of road walking on this one, including a short section on a busy road. That’s probably the main thing to know before choosing the route

The first part of the walk follows the canal on good paths before the route leaves the water and continues mainly alongside roads, again using good surfaced paths and pavements.

The Hambleton Circular Walk is an easy 3.22-mile route near Selby in North Yorkshire. Explore peaceful countryside, quiet country lanes and the wooded slopes of Hambleton Hough, a distinctive Triassic sandstone hill shaped by millions of years of geological and glacial history.

Our Stay at the Cottage in Pateley Bridge We spent a lovely weekend in this cosy little cottage right in the centre of Pateley Bridge. It couldn’t have been a better base for our adventures. The moment we stepped inside, it was clear how much care had gone into the place. It was sparklingly clean, beautifully decorated throughout, and wonderfully warm and inviting.

Part-1 Part-2 9.23mi Skipton to Low Bradley Circular Walk Part-1 Part-2 We stayed at the Travelodge, which is why the walk starts and finishes there. Before heading out, we called in at Robertshaw’s next door for a grand breakfast to set us up for the day. We also enjoyed a few pints along the route, and that may explain why the walk ended up in two parts — I accidentally pressed “finish” on the app after one of those said pints!!!
