Sicklinghall to Spofforth Circular – 5.5 miles

A very straightforward walk from a very nice pub! We stroll through the affluent village of Sicklinghall (near Wetherby) and onto Stockeld Park, after which we pick up the Harland Way (old railway trackbed). This takes us all the way to Spofforth, walking along residential streets before picking up Whins Lane (track then metalled road) back to Sicklinghall.

The walk will be led at a steady pace: not too fast, not too slow. Please be ready to start walking at the advertised time.

Walk fee: £2. No dogs please.

Start point: Scotts Arms, Main Street, Sicklinghall, LS22 4BD. We have permission to use the left-hand side of the car park ONLY and on the understanding that you will be going into the pub afterwards. Everyone else, regardless of whether you are going into the pub, will need to park on the roadside. Car sharing highly recommended for this one.

I have no formal walk leader or first-aid qualifications and the Group does not have insurance. When you RSVP for any walk, you accept that you remain responsible for your own safety at all times. You are required to respect the walk leader and be mindful of the safety of others. Please keep to the pace of the group and don’t go off ahead even if you think you know the route.
