Great place to visit great views

Really picturesque village, grab a coffee at South Cave serviced

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

Can't comment on the views after an early-morning winter trot in thick fog, but the tracks (all public footpaths around here, no bridleways) are decent quality and not too boggy for the time of year.

Private grass airstrip just to the south of the public footpath along this segment.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

Stop here for a breather and a picnic

wear good Footwear 👍

Beautiful quiet track. Perfect for wildlife spotting.
