Walking the Riding

Forest floor

One of the best ways to explore the East riding is on foot, with an extensive network of some 1500Km of footpaths and bridleways there are some great walks to try. Most of the walks are short circular ones and can be completed in 2 - 3 hours. But we have walks for all ages and abilities so if you are feeling energetic then you can join some of the walks up to make a full day of it, or if you just fancy a stroll along a Canal; we have a walk for you.

You can choose location, length and grade, and what sort of features you might be interested in like, Wolds, Coastal, Church, Riverside, or walks with a pub on route

The best way to find out about these Walks is to visit the Walking the Riding website.


The Web site is easy to use, and once you have chosen a walk you can print the map off to take with you. We do recommend that you purchase a detailed map from The Ordnance Survey map called an explorer. These are the orange maps and are available at all good bookshops. Expect to pay about £7.

Once you have tried a few of our recommended walks you`ll pick up reading the map and perhaps want to try devising your own walks. Any of the green dashes on these explorer maps can be used by the public, so feel free to explore.
