Explore Wharram Percy – A Lost Medieval Village in the Yorkshire Wolds

Wharram Percy Circular Walk 4.79mi

Nestled in the rolling hills of the Yorkshire Wolds, Wharram Percy is one of England’s most famous deserted medieval villages. Abandoned by the early 16th century, this once-thriving settlement offers a fascinating glimpse into rural life during the Middle Ages. Today, only the ruins of the 12th-century church and outlines of former buildings remain, surrounded by peaceful farmland and chalkland valleys. At The White Shire, I’ve tracked and promoted a scenic Wharram Percy circular walk that explores the surrounding countryside, perfect for walkers looking to combine natural beauty with local history. Discover ancient tracks, wildlife-rich meadows, and panoramic views across the Wolds—an ideal route for anyone exploring historic walks in Yorkshire.
