The Jolly Farmers, Leavening

Leavening to Burythorpe Field Path Circular

A short farmland round linking the two villages at the foot of the Wolds escarpment. North out of Leavening on Malton Road, right onto the field track that climbs east, then onto a public footpath signposted at both ends which drops through arable land into Burythorpe by the church. The return is a single-track lane west of the fields with almost no traffic. Open ploughland and grass headlands the whole way, big views north to the Howardian Hills, and no beck, pond or trough anywhere on it - this is chalk country and the water all runs underground.
