If you follow the small woodland path around the far northern edge of the Common, just next to South Moor Field, you will be rewarded with a stroll through a fabulous Silver Birch wood, and a huge number of mature Oak trees.

Remnants of RAF Riccall are clearly visible around this loop. The base has a rich history and served as a heavy bomber (Handley Page Halifax) operational conversion unit during the Second World War.

The entire common is riddled with patches of concrete and asphalt that represent the remains of the taxiways and flight pan.

Beautiful gardens, well maintained. With some ruins

Initially the walk was named ‘The Long Walk’ but it became better known as ‘New Walk’ by which name it was popularly called.
