Our drawing of the route, over road and path data from OpenStreetMap. It shows where the walk goes and what it goes through. It is not a survey and not a navigation aid — carry OS Explorer on the hill. Off-lead information here is what walkers reported or what signage allows — never our advice. Whether and when a dog is off the lead is the owner’s decision and legal responsibility; keep dogs under control near livestock and follow signs on the day.

Directions to the start →

Six and a half miles and around three hours on the last stage of the Yorkshire Wolds Way in reverse, climbing 180 metres out of Muston onto the chalk and returning down a dry valley on the Centenary Way, chalk underfoot that drains fast but greases up in the wet. Start on Filey Bay Road at the southern edge of the town, with free street parking and the number 12 bus a few minutes away on Muston Road. The dale bottoms are quiet enough for off-lead work, but almost every field on the wold is grazed or in crop with the path along the headland, there are several stiles, and Muston is crossed on the A1039 with no pavement in places.

THE SMALL PRINTSheep graze most of the wold fields on this route and the path runs along cropped field headlands where dogs must stay on the path and on the lead. The crossing of Muston uses a short stretch of the A1039 with no pavement.
