A record twenty-two people took part in this wonderful walk on a sunny and warm winter's day.
Setting off from Coneysthorpe, we headed into the upper reaches of the Castle Howard estate with the temple and mausoleum to our right. There were wonderful views across the hills and towards the various folly's in the grounds of Castle Howard.
As we approached the pyramid, the group decided to extend the walk via a two mile diversion to Welburn. Anders promised us a cafe and pub in the village, and weren't disappointed. Another lovely Yorkshire village complete with sandstone buildings and Yorkshire sash windows. The group stopped for lunch outside the village hall, with some eating their own sandwiches, others visiting the cafe, whilst a few sneaked into the pub for a pint or a half.
Once refreshed, we headed back out of the village towards to forest and towards the bridge at Castle Howard. The bridge provides wonderful views of the temple, mausoleum and Castle Howard itself.
The path then took us back to where we started - the sleepy village of Coneysthorpe. What a lovely walk and a lovely day.
Above and below, you will find some snaps taken by various of the group. Look forward to seeing you in December.
