  • East Heslerton, Knapton Brow & Wintringham Marsh.
  • On Sunday 4th October, our group enjoyed an 11-mile walk through the beautiful Yorkshire Wolds, starting from East Heslerton.
  • The route took us through a varied landscape of farmland, pasture and woodland, with some lovely views across Knapton Brow and the surrounding Wolds. Along the way we encountered the Enclosure Rites sculpture, part of the Yorkshire Wolds Way art installations, before continuing through the countryside towards Wintringham Marsh.
  • There were plenty of opportunities to enjoy the scenery and wildlife, including some rather curious residents of the surrounding fields! The route also included a little adventure crossing the ford, before we continued towards Rillington for a welcome lunch stop at The Coach & Horses.
  • We finished the walk at St Peter’s Church, Wintringham, completing a varied and enjoyable day in the Yorkshire Wolds.

The route then returns through the surrounding valleys and farmland to Hackness.
  • After a short coach journey to Scarborough, our 3-mile afternoon walk takes us uphill towards Scarborough Castle and St Mary’s Church, before heading down towards North Bay and the harbour.

  • Sweyne Coaches have requested that no food and drink is consumed on the bus. This is due to vermin at the depot who are attracted to dropped crumbs on the coaches.
