For nearly 80 miles the Yorkshire Wolds Way wends through some of the most tranquil and gentle countryside in England. From the banks of the mighty Humber estuary, along wooded slopes and through serene dry valleys, the walk climbs gently onto the airy tops of the rolling hills where on a clear day "you can see forever". Descending from the northern escarpment the final section of the Way finishes on the dramatic headland of Filey Brigg.
The soft greens of the landscape, often peppered with bright red poppies set against a deep blue sky imbue a feeling of peace and freedom; the villages, rich in history, offer welcome breaks for refreshment and relaxation; the quiet sounds of nature permeate the clear air. It would be a crime to rush this walk.
