Walking in the AONB

Walking Routes



We produce a number of walks leaflets. The first two describe circular routes around Terrington, ranging from 2½ miles to 6½ miles. There is also an interesting 10 mile circular walk around four churches in the Howardian Hills, and the first of a new series of History and Habitats walks leaflets describe three circular routes in and around the villages of Hovingham and Welburn. With distances varying from 1½ miles to nearly 5 miles in length, the routes encourage people to explore the landscape, wildlife and history on their doorsteps. The leaflets can be downloaded using the following links (they may take a while to download):

(Please note that the print on these leaflets is likely to come out very small on A4 paper. The leaflets are principally designed to be picked-up from the shops/pubs in the villages concerned.)

The AONB Committee finished an extensive programme of improvement works in 2005, enhancing the Public Rights of Way system in the whole of the AONB. The work was undertaken in partnership with the North Yorkshire County Council Rights of Way Section and the Countryside Agency. Work included replacing finger posts with new 'destination and distance' posts, replacing stiles with gates to make access easier and installing new footbridges and board-walks.
