A circular walk in the undulating landscapes of the Yorkshire Wolds. Starting in the village of North Grimston, the walk joins the route of the Wolds Way to the 'lost' village of Wharram Percy, a 5,000-year-old community deserted during the Black Death and only discovered in 1948. The walk returns along the route of a disused railway and quiet country lanes.

Wonderful views,Interesting locations--however about 5.5 miles out of 8.0 miles is on tarmac which we found very trying--also we couldn't locate a right turn at point 8.
