Round Ryedale Walk
67 mile circular walk around the market towns of Ryedale

A new circular long-distance walking trail in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, linking five historic market towns. This 67-mile (108km) long-distance trail celebrates the glorious landscape of this district as well as the many traditional small villages, all offering a great Yorkshire welcome. Ryedale is well-known for its diverse landscapes and stunning contrasts, and that is brought to life on this tranquil journey. You will enjoy the peaceful fields and woodlands of the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the patchwork of farmland in the Vale of Pickering and the dramatic southern edge of the North York Moors National Park, crossing the rivers and steep-sided woodland dales formed by glacial meltwater from the Ice Age.

Mobile Digital Mapping
Digital maps can be viewed on most modern smartphones using an appropriate app, downloaded from the app store associated with your device. Brigantes recommend that whichever app you use, it should support Ordnance Survey 1:25k or 1:50k scale maps. There are many apps to choose from, but the two main providers are Ordnance Survey and Memory Map.

Each provider’s app has its own benefits, but both provide all-important offline navigation, meaning your device does not need a mobile signal to work effectively on the trail.

  1. Thanks once again for moving our baggage so seamlessly.
    I know I like to be involved and book our own accommodation but this one was totally dependant on buses, multiple buses. Not something normally associated with distance walking, Glad to say though everything went swimmingly
