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.

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.
