Yorkshire Wolds & East Yorkshire Coast: 40 Favourite Walks

The gentle rolling hills of the Yorkshire Wolds and the beaches and headlands of the East Yorkshire Coast are somewhat overshadowed by the better-known Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors, well-established national parks which attract huge numbers of walkers. In contrast, this region offers a tranquil tapestry of history, geology and natural beauty. The walks in this guide explore the peaceful unchanging valleys and quiet villages as well as the bustling market towns and seaside resorts of the Wolds and east coast, taking in some of the area's ancient history, lost settlements, fine architecture and other hidden gems along the way.
