A mixed terrain walk. Starting in Thorpe Willoughby we head into farming countryside through the Vale of York, arriving in Selby for a walk through the town past the Abbey towards Selby Canal. The route by the canal follows the Trans Pennine Trail, passing Burton Hall, and onwards towards Brayton Barff, a hidden reservoir, before returning to Thorpe Willoughby.

We will stop during the walk for a refreshment and lunch break so bring a pack up as normal.

Bring refreshments and a rug to sit on the village green afterwards in lieu of going to a cafe if you wish.
