A very Happy Christmas to all from the Yorkshire Wolds Way. Wishing everyone many days of great walking ahead!

Did you know that we are part of a family of 20 National Trails in the UK which would not exist if it wasn’t for the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act that was passed on this day 75 years ago?

It is impossible to understate the importance of this brilliant piece of legislation. It has changed hundreds of thousands of lives and our wildest landscapes for the better through its creation of National Trails, National Parks, National Landscapes and National Nature Reserves.

And that word National is of real importance. These have been created for everyone in our country to enjoy.

Please join us in celebrating this milestone and share your photos of and memories of the Yorkshire Wolds Way since it launched in 1982.

The gateway to the Yorkshire Wolds Way National Trail 🥾

Most walkers start their exploration of the Yorkshire Wolds Way in the shadow of the mighty Humber Bridge. The first three miles runs along the foreshore of the Humber estuary, proving an easy going introduction to the trail.

Why not head there this weekend and enjoy the incredible views? https://loom.ly/bjvgATE

Please be aware that we have reports in that recent very high tides on the Humber Estuary may make some of the Yorkshire Wolds Way on that stretch difficult. Certainly the high tide route at North Ferriby is advised for use.
