Scackleton 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

One of only a few such mazes left in the country and the only one in Yorkshire.

Cautionary tale for those taking the Coulton - Swathgill - Potter Hill Farm public footpath: I travelled west from Coulton in May and the footpath immediately to the west of the main road in Coulton is heavily overgrown with nettles, even wearing long trousers I got quite a few stings. Undeterred, I pushed on and the footpath is not marked as it transits the massive field to the west of Coulton (I simply walked along the tractor tramlines through the middle of the crops, so didn't trample them), then the section of footpath running from east to west just south of Swathgill is heavily overgrown with brambles and nettles (see photos), and very narrow as it descends down a small hill, the fence at the side of the footpath is dilapidated in parts, meaning wire trails (hidden) through the undergrowth. Other than that it's brilliant!!!

A really easy track to follow from Cawton to Hovingham, and judging from others' photos, one that really ought to be visited through the different seasons. My photos are from a hot sunny weekend in May, when the countryside was a blaze of yellow with flowering rapeseed.

Public footpath goes over this bridge and then (if traversing northwards) turns east towards Home Farm. Lots of lambs in spring, very scenic.

Walk west along Brookside and turn left to access the Ebor Way to Cawton.

Worth stopping on your ride here - this is a gem! "City of Troy" here is the only surviving instance (in North Yorkshire) of an ancient game. A similar name is given to these kinds of maze games in Scandinavia (Trojeborg = Troy Town), which shows early association between these parts of the world. There is a plaque with further information here as well as a bench to rest on to enjoy this place. The views are also quite lovely, particularly down the Bonnygate Lane road.

A great segment on Ebor Way across the countryside west of Hovingham. Wide tracks, rolling hills (Hovingham High Wood on the slopes to the south) and green fields (best in the summer), and almost immediate peace out of the villages of Hovingham and Cawton. Pure joy to run.
