Millington Wood - Sunday 11th July

Nine walkers joined this enjoyable walk around Millington.

Millington is a small village 3 miles north-east of Pocklington and the Woods car park is a further half mile north east of the village. It is an 8 mile walk with one steep-ish climb near the start and then the rest of the walk is typical undulating Wolds country.
