Doncaster Rambler’s Press Release – A Wolds Eye View Tuesday 23rd July 2024

The usual briefing took place before setting out for the Drewton estate which was achieved by crossing the A1034 and picking up an old disused railway track and passing some very smart looking holiday accommodation on one side of the road and the palatial Drewton Manor on the other side of the road.

The morning break was taken at the bottom of an area known as the warrens which also overlooked a chalk stream. After the break the route continued through Low Hunsley plantation and East Dale before crossing the B1230 and picking up the dual path of the High Hunsley Circuit and Wolds Way, before arriving at North Newbald for Lunch.

After a suitable lunch break (both hostelries were shut) the route went past the Norman Church with its spectacular modern day carving in an old tree.

Passing this the route then went onto road walking for a short distance skirting some of Hotham which has several large manor houses and halls finally arriving back at the start point.

A usual vote of thanks to Steve for photos, Norman for road watch and John for back marker.

The High Hunsley Circuit is a 25½ mile circular walk in the East Riding of Yorkshire,that visits the villages of Walkington, Skidby, Brantingham, South Cave and Bishop Burton. The paths themselves are also used by other routes, Yorkshire Wolds Way and Beverley 20.

Non-members welcome, just turn up and you will be well looked after
