Walk Yorkshire Walk Yorkshire Holidays, specialists in bespoke and themed walking holidays in one of England’s most beautiful counties.

The idea for Walk Yorkshire holidays was born from a lifelong passion for the outstanding natural beauty of Yorkshire and a deep desire to share that beauty with others. Kevin Borwell was brought up in the small North Yorkshire village of Stillington and knows firsthand where to find the most beautiful and breathtaking views he first discovered roaming the hills and dales as a child.

“I fell in l

ove with rural Yorkshire from an early age and there’s nowhere else on earth I’d rather be. Even after more than thirty years walking in the National Parks here, there’s always something new to discover. It’s not just the beauty, which is there for all to see, it’s the diverse terrain and the unpredictability of the climate which makes Yorkshire such a magnificent place to explore.”

A former Royal Marine Mountain Leader, survival expert ski, instructor and a qualified first aid instructor Kevin has handpicked a team of experienced guides who share his enthusiasm for the Yorkshire countryside. All our guides are also first aid qualified.

“We are all passionate about where we walk and we’ve all got our own stories to tell and anecdotes to share to bring this breathtaking area to life and to add colour and character to the walks. And we believe the hotels we’ve chosen for you will really compliment your stay. Many are themselves steeped in history and have their own local legends to pass on.”

DARK SKIES EVENT.
To continue the celebrations of the National Parks 10th anniversary as a Dark Skies area we met a lovely bunch of people and headed off for a 5 mile wonder round the Hole of Horcum. A very pleasant but at times muddy route the gang took in some of the wonderful landscapes this unique feature as to offer as well as some of the ancient history surrounding the area and the influence of the monks and other tribal features. The sky was not perfectly clear but we managed to see several of the key constellations and they were helped along a bit with some night navigation skills and using the stars to navigate by yours truly. Thank you gang a great night out on the moor.

Two really great walks today, one first thing this morning, in the forest by 7.30 and a nice easy 4.5miles listening to the deer and the resident woodpecker was well at it at such an early time. The snowdrops are out so spring is just round the corner. A keen frost but much better than rain and overcast. Great little wonder before a whole hearty breakfast. For the second one see next post.

Looking forward to our first Dark Skies event of this series. A nice stroll from Sutton Bank National Park Centre via the White Horse. We start off though heading out to White Mare Crag, this place features in many local legends. It also gives us a very pleasant view down to Gormire Lake, this ice age relic is the only natural lake on the North York Moors. From here we head across Roulston Scar and start the descent down to the White Horse carpark and a 5 minute breather. From here back up the hill via the steps and a nice contour round the scar and the remnants of the ancient tribes that once lived here many thousands of years ago.

DARK SKIES

Last night was the last of our Dark Skies events until February 2025, and what a lovely peaceful walk we had to bring things to a close.From the iconic village of Goathland setting off from the ever popular Inn on the Moor we headed off on the Rail Trail to Incline Cottage and then left following the river to the Mallyan Spout and then a circular route back along the centenary Way. My three hungry companions were now truly primed for dinner at the Inn on the Moor.
