12 Miles Linear Walk

This walk takes in a section of the Yorkshire Wolds Way, which is a long-distance path from Hessle on the bank of the River Humber to the cliffs above Filey.

Starting from Ganton, where you can park near the beautiful old village church before setting off across the fields, gradually gaining height, to reach a high-level section of the walk which takes you across Staxton and Flixton Wolds. The rest of the route is uphill and down dale, typical rolling Wolds landscape, and it's a thrill when the North Sea and distant Filey, at last, come into view.

For anyone who hasn't visited Filey, it's well worth a visit. Unlike many seaside resorts, it is quiet, relatively unspoilt, and often overlooked thanks to its location between its better-known neighbours Bridlington and Scarborough. The GPX trace on this route is for use as a guide only; its accuracy may change depending on the scale of the map you are using. Use in combination with judgement and a paper map.
