커크 엘라 최고의 러닝 경로

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.

Take a hike here in winter, early morning or late afternoon when there is less natural light, as the hundreds of lights around the church wall at ground level are quite spectacular. There has been a church in this location since the reign of William Rufus in the 11th century, as coins from the period were found in the foundations of part of the church during its 19th-century restoration.

Picturesque village with ample parking around the vicinity of the pond, which is quite spectacular around Christmas, when backlit by hundreds of lights on the wall around St. Helen's Church.

technically a footpath but its wide enough for everyone

The village pond is situated in the centre of the village in front of the church.

St Helen's church in the heart of the village of Welton. There is normally a gathering for worship on a Sunday morning.

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.
