Route No. 417 - Wednesday 25 May 2011
Crayke Estate Walk circuit - 5km
Howardian Hills
North Yorkshire . . .

17 May 2021
I have received a message today informing me in effect that the Crayke Estate Walk has become a victim of its own success. It is now so popular that the increased number of walkers is forming wider, muddier paths with more erosion and the Crayke Estate is looking for ways to reduce the pressure of visitors on this walk. It was created along permissive paths as a local project to celebrate the millennium and if visitors to the route were limited mainly to local people much of the problem would be solved. So for the time being the Crayke Estate Managers have asked that walkers please do not walk the Crayke Estate Walk unless you live close to it.

There are many fine alternative walks in the Howardian Hills so why not have a look at my One Boot Index of walks in the Howardian Hills to explore this lovely area and give the Crayke Estate Walk a chance to recover
