スキッドビーでののおすすめランニングルート

This is clearly a popular route. I never see anyone at the godforsaken hours that I go out hiking and trailrunning (generally start before sunrise in winter), yet I did see plenty of dogwalkers, hikers and runners out and about in Welton Dale and surrounding bridleways and footpaths. As a result a lot of the tracks are very muddy. Not boggy, you won't lose a shoe, but they can be very slippery in winter.

Originally constructed as part of the Welton House estate. The original house was demolished in 1952 but the Mill House is now listed. Loads of history at https://www.yorkshiregardenstrust.org.uk/research/sites/welton-house

If you like detail (and lots of it), then you can find a decent history of Welton House (now long gone) and the estate at https://www.yorkshiregardenstrust.org.uk/research/sites/welton-house.

Bench and signposts at the foot of Turtle Hill, this is a crossroads of 2 different bridleways, so a few routeing options available.

wooded area close to Welton. There are some nice walks through this plantation

Wide bridleway on farm access track

Wide gravel trail with asphalt on the northern half.

Large area for car parking here, good place to start your ride or walk from.

I think this is technically a footpath, but, its wide and horse riders use it all the time, just be alright with people and all is well..

Bridleway north of Skidby in serene country surroundings, perfect for getting off the main path and into nature on a run.

Skidby Mill is a Grade II listed four-sail windmill and is surrounded by its original outbuildings and courtyard. The Museum of East Riding Rural Life is housed in the outbuildings. The Mill is still operational but from January 2022 is undergoing renovations so is not currently milling flour or open to the public. Please check their website for the most up to date information though as this may change from the time of writing (September 2022). eastridingmuseums.co.uk/find-a-museum/?entry=skidby_mill

This is one of my favourite local walks and where I go foraging in autumn to get some conkers to keep the spiders away. Yes this old wive's tale does work, not for all spiders, but for most. Though it can get a bit boggy in the wetter months.

Look out for ice we’re the sun don’t shine

Fantastic views from the top of the surrounding countryside.

Fast, fun descent.

Beautiful quiet track. Perfect for wildlife spotting.

Great area to see local wildlife. Be careful as there are sometimes big gaps in the fence which over-eager dogs could squeeze through.

As mentioned previously this has been fenced off but can still be seen, area can be linked to Welton and Brantingham for a wide variety of walks.

Good place to stop to refuel before heading to Brantingham.
