The gentle rolling hills of the Yorkshire Wolds and the beaches and
headlands of the East Yorkshire Coast are somewhat overshadowed by
better-known Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors, well- established national parks which attract large numbers of walkers.
In contrast, this region offers a tranquil tapestry of history, geology
and natural beauty.
Each walk entry begins with at-a-glance details of distance, time,
terrain, parking and public transport access where available. Clear
route-finding instructions are provided together with simple overview
coloured sketch maps, but OS Explorer map sheet numbers are also
provided. The text also includes brief notes on features of interest
along the way and there are colour photographs throughout.
The walks are arranged into four geographical sections as follows:
East Yorkshire Coast
Holderness and the Northern Wolds
The Derwent and the Western Wolds
Southern Wolds and the Humber
