Coneysthorpe Banks Wood is a pleasure to walk in. Easy paths take you through this peaceful forest. Halfway through on this stretch, you will find yourself on the northern edge of the wood, with truly fantastic views from above over the Vale of Pickering to the north (North York Moors). And in the summer, the yellow rapeseed fields here are simply beautiful to look at.

Great woodland route to follow that lasts miles if you start way west at Wath Wood just south of Hovingham, runs all the way east through Fryton West Wood, Fryton East Wood, Slingsby Banks Wood and Coneysthorpe Banks Wood, part of which is the Centenary Way. Useful off-road parking areas where both Slingsby Bank and Fryton Lane meet the woods. Great views north across Rye Dale and the Vale of Pickering, and large areas of the woods are blanketed with bluebells in spring. The route is a bit muddy in parts, but easy hiking.
