Explorer Map 300, - Howardian Hills and Malton

A delightful walk, - easy to navigate and with no specially difficult sections. Some gentle ascents and descents only.
Great views to the South from Caulkleys Bank.
A visit to Stonegrave Minster is one of the highlights of the walk, and, of course, Nunnington itself is a charming village.
After heavy rain it is possible that the River Rye could be in flood. If so, you will have to postpone the walk until the river levels have returned to normal.
