Petal Walks
We are working on our Petal Walks - there will be one from each of our churches. We intend them to be circular walks - 3 to 5 miles long and suitable for families. We will indicate a good picnic spot! We are also trying to make some of these walks accessible for Ramblers on wheels. We are working with Disabled Ramblers UK and NYMNP.
Old Byland - from All Saints Church
Our Petal Walk from Old Byland All Saints is 4 miles long and is particularly suitable for families as there is a pretty picnic spot in a conservation area, with a stream to paddle in! It should take around two and a half hours at a fairly leisurely pace.

Hawnby - from All Saints Church
Our Petal Walk from Hawnby All Saints is short but has some steep climbs! It is a stunning walk and should take around two and a half hours at a fairly leisurely pace.

East Moors- from St Mary Magdalene Church and Labyrinth
Our Petal Walk from East Moors St Mary Magdalene has the added benefit of exploring the stone labyrinth behind the church! The walk is approximately 4 miles long but has a short cut which enables you to do a 2.5 mile walk if you prefer.

Cold Kirby - from St Michael's Church (closed)
Our Petal Walk from Cold Kirby St Michael's is 4.5 miles long and is another walk suitable for families as it takes in the NYMNP Visitors' Centre with its many activities and also visits James Herriots's "Finest view in all England" It should take around two and a half hours at a fairly leisurely pace.

Sproxton - from St Chad's Church
This is a lovely walk through arable land and forest and there are superb views to the Moors and the Howardian Hills. There is a need to take great care at the beginning and end of the walk as you will need to walk a short distance on the verge of a very busy road. It should take about 2 and a half hours at a leisurely pace.
