Great place to visit great views

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

Created before 1796, it was designed to connect to Terrace Plantation at Melton. Covers nearly 22 acres and is on the Yorkshire Wolds Way. Part of the historical Welton House estate: 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.

Also known as a washdyke, this deep, brick-lined basin was where the annual pre-shearing washing took place in full view of the public. It was restored in 2009 when railings were added to stop people falling in. Used regularly until the 1950s when chemical sheep-dipping became prevalent on farms, it was activated by villagers using a metal bung to dam the spring-fed stream on the morning of washing day, and letting it fill with water.

All Saints’ Church is 12th Century in origin and was restored by the Victorians in the late 19th Century. It is situated almost at the foot of Brantingham Dale in an open aspect. It is without doubt one of the most picturesque churches in the East Riding of Yorkshire. A fairly detailed history of the church compiled in 1965 and updated in 2014 is available as a pdf at https://d3hgrlq6yacptf.cloudfront.net/5f115a55324ea/content/pages/documents/1573224210.pdf

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

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.

wear good Footwear 👍

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.

Always a good spot to stop and observe the area. Can use this area to walk around to nearest villages or is on the route of The Wolds Way.

Brantingham is a great place to start walking around the hills and moorland area. Would always recommend checking in the pub The Tritton Inn, High quality food and service and dog friendly.

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.

Church is stipulated at the main road which goes through Brantingham, due to its location there is an area to park a car and walk up the hill to get to the trails around Brantingham and Welton. Would recommend a visit.

Again another place to sit and get a breather or too wash shoes off with moving water

Good place to stop to refuel before heading to Brantingham.
