ROUTE

Start & Finish: Beverley

Day 1: Arrive in Beverley
Day 2: From Beverley to Pocklington
Day 3: From Pocklington to Malton
Day 4: From Malton to Hunmanby
Day 5: From Hunmanby to Driffield
Day 6: From Driffield to Beverley
Day 7: Departure from Beverley

Day 1:    Arrive in Beverley

Arrive in Beverley, which in medieval times was in the top 10 most important towns in England. Today you have time to visit the minster, a huge cathedral-sized church dating back to 1404. Beverly has a lively outdoor market and a surviving medieval town gatehouse. 

Day 2:    From Beverley to Pocklington

Roll out of the suburbs of Beverley in the morning and then through the big sky agricultural landscape, punctuated with small swathes of forestry plantations. Next is a good run into Market Weighton, perhaps for lunch. From here there are a few mild climbs and the dry valley of Cleaving Coombe to bring you into Pocklington. Peace and tranquility can be found in the town's renowned gardens at Burnby Hall. Pocklington is a town of charming, independent shops and boutiques. 

Day 3:    From Pocklington to Malton

A series of climbs and the valley of Pasturdale bring you up to Huggate. Heading on you roll around on top of the Wolds before descending with your bike into Thixendale. An undulating ride brings you to Kirkham above the river Rye, before heading into Malton.

This is a market town that now claimed to be Yorkshire’s food capital busy with local stores and restaurants. If you have time, and you want to take an extra day here, 11km (6.8miles) away is Castle Howard, an ornate gilded 18th century stately home set in landscaped grounds with fountains, trails and lakes. 

Day 4:    From Malton to Hunmanby

Your third day of cycling soon gets underway with a steep climb up Fizgig Hill, after Settring Village. The cycling then goes back to more gentle undulations through the fertile farmland and hills of the Wolds. Finally you descend into Cans Dale and over South Dale to arrive in Hunmanby.

Stroll around the village and admire All Saints Church with its unusual Admirals Arch.

Day 5:    From Hunmanby to Driffield

Today is quite a long day, but generally with gentle cycling. Although it adds a few kms, you can take a ride off route to the RSPB sanctuary of Bempton Cliffs. Another place of note is the seaside at Bridlington, where you should make time for a paddle and an ice cream. Just before the town is Sewerby Hall, a georgian country house set in 50 acres of landscaped gardens.

Then its back inland, gently climbing up Rudston Beacon and descending into Burton Agnes. You finally drift into Driffield. You have lots of choice in pubs and restaurants here.

Day 6:    From Driffield to Beverley

The Yorkshire Wolds Cycleway concludes with a shorter day in typical Wolds style. Wind around the roads that connect the farms together with the little market villages. You pass through many farms and a couple of picturesque villages such as Etton and Cherry Burton. Arriving back in Beverley, we trust the town will be as welcoming to you as it was to King Charles II, he stayed in a guesthouse here for 3 weeks shortly before the start of the English Civil War.

Day 7:    Departure from Beverley
The trip ends after breakfast when you depart the accommodation.
