Public footpaths are quite limited around here, but this highlight is on a very pleasant footpath on the eastern side of Whin Hill, which runs to the west through Swin Dale towards North Newbald. Easy walking, no boggy patches, overgrown vegetation or other obstacles.

Hiking

Lovely circular walk starting and ending in North Newbald, part of it on the Wolds way. Great scenery and when on the tops fabulous views over the vale of York and the river Humber. On a clear day (as today) you can see the spires of York Minster in the distance.
