The route performs a loop to the east, taking in long stretches of peaceful arable fields and the southern tracks and lanes which are home to many horse racing stables. The walk has a couple of steady climbs and descents. About half of the route follows pavements alongside the local roads with the remainder following unmade footpaths and bridleways through the fields. The paths are generally firm but the bridleway tracks can get very muddy at times. You will need to negotiate 3 stiles, (2 standard wooden stiles and 1 wooden ladder stile). The stiles have wooden fence surrounds, the tightest of which has a gap suitable for a medium-large dog to pass through but larger dogs may need a lift over. You will need to cross one paddock that is likely to be holding horses. Allow 3 hours. If you are looking for refreshments you will find several pubs and restaurants on Church Street and Commercial Street near the start of the walk. OS Map: Explorer 300 Howardian Hills and Malton. This walk follows public footpaths and bridleways which cross private and public land. Please observe the Countryside Code.

The Route what3words for start point: ///postings.commands.paths Start Point: Malton Finish Point: Appleton le Street Distance: 7 Miles GPX Route Map appletonlestreettomaltonDownload Walk Description IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a linear walk that relies on a bus service for the return leg, which runs Monday to Saturday. If you choose to complete the walk on a Sunday, you will need to use a taxi for the return leg. Alinear walk from the small village of Appleton le Street to the market town of Malton in Ryedale. Begin by catching the bus from Malton to Appleton le Street where you can enjoy a drink at the dog-friendly village pub before beginning the linear walk back into town. Along the way you will enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Howardian Hills including long stretches of pretty woodland and good views across the Castle Howard estate. This published through a collaboration with Ryedale District Council. The walk has several climbs and descents throughout. The sections of paths through woodland and pasture can be very muddy, slippery and rutted at times so good boots are a must (or wellingtons with grips in the winter months). Some of the paths are also very narrow in part, so could be prone to becoming a little overgrown in the height of the growing season. There are no stiles or kissing gates on route, but you will need to negotiate several single bridle gates. The vast majority of the paths are enclosed within fences or within woodland. You will cross two grass fields which may be used as pastures. Towards the end of the walk, you will need to cross a horse training gallop (by ducking under the tall barriers) so take care to ensure you look and listen carefully for horses before you cross. Allow 3.5 hours. There are public toilets in Malton Market Place near the end of the walk. If you are looking for refreshments, the Cresswell Arms in Appleton le Street is at the start point (check opening times) and you will be spoilt for choice with restaurants, pubs and cafes centred around Malton's Market Place near the end of your walk.
