Overview

The walk starts in the Village of Ampleforth (on the sharp corner). We start by heading north past the school and the church, then crossing the main road past Studfold Ring. We then head south east for a short while before heading north again through Pry Rigg Plantation, passing Holly Bower and contunuing on Hag Lane to just before Sproxton. Here we head South on the edge of Oxclose and Salmon's Wood, passing Beacon House, down Beacon Bank and back to the Road opposite Ampleforth College. We then continue south through the Ampleforth College Grounds passing the playing fields and the Fish ponds and Miniture Railway at East Gilling. We then turn east following the road past Park Cottages to the Lower Fish Pond. We finish the walk by heading north west back to the start point.
