Eight Yorkshire Circular Walks We've Recorded

Looking for a new Yorkshire walk? These eight routes are ones Lyn and I have recorded, from short village circuits to longer outings through the countryside. Rather than giving you another set of directions, we've linked to the original articles and Komoot maps so you can see each actual route.

North Yorkshire Walks

4.74mi Brayton Circular Walk

Brayton sits close to Selby. Our circular explores the countryside around Brayton Barff, with village paths, fields and wooded ground. See our Brayton walk and Komoot map.

5.75mi Cawood Circular Walk

Cawood is an old riverside village on the River Ouse. Our recorded circuit heads into the farmland beyond the village, rather than simply following the river bank. Explore the Cawood walk.

Approximately 4mi Helmsley Circular Walk

Helmsley's market-town streets and the surrounding North York Moors countryside make an appealing combination. Our GPS recording accidentally continued into the drive home; the article explains that clearly. Read our Helmsley walk and GPS note.

East Yorkshire Walks

5.26mi Spalding Moor Circular Walk

The East Riding's flatter countryside has its own character. Our Spalding Moor circuit is set among agricultural land, drainage channels and a landscape changed by generations of farming. See the Spalding Moor walk.

South Yorkshire Walks

4.58mi Clayton Circular Walk

Clayton, near Doncaster, is surrounded by fields and countryside paths. The original blog includes our GPS recording and photographs, along with a little of the village's history. View the Clayton circular route.

4.58mi Barnburgh Countryside Circular Walk

This is the longer of several Barnburgh routes on The White Shire. It takes in the rural setting around the village above the Dearne Valley. Choose this particular recording for the 4.58-mile circuit. Open the Barnburgh Countryside Walk.

3.43mi Dearne Valley Park Circular Walk

Near Barnsley, Dearne Valley Park combines the River Dearne with woodland, lakes and green space shaped by the area's industrial history. Explore our Dearne Valley Park walk.

West Yorkshire Walks

4.14mi Thorner Circular Walk

Thorner lies to the north-east of Leeds. Our recording goes out into the farmland around the village, with a different feel from the more built-up parts of West Yorkshire. See our Thorner walk and map.
