Hovingham 10 Miles, moderate, Leader Jon D

This walk is centrally located giving easy access to all. It is a circular walk with good views of the gently rolling Howardian hills and goes through an area of forest and various footpaths and farm tracks. The lunch stop will be at the scenic village of Terrington. On return at Hovingham we find two pubs. Jon's preference however would be the spa tearooms which is one of the best tearooms in Yorkshire in Jon's opinion.

Meet 10:00am Hovingham village hall car park (free - signposted off main road going through village). View Map of Area
