Life in the East Yorkshire countryside is really for living. This is a place to get involved, to join in.

Whether you want a gentle stroll starting and finishing at the village pub or a more strenuous hike across dramatic landscapes, there’s no better way to discover East Yorkshire’s hidden treasures.

One-day, circular walks off the 79-mile Wolds Way National Trail lead to ancient sites, unspoilt villages and beauty spots. Country parks and nature reserves provide wonderful opportunities for birdwatching and photography.

Join guided walks through the ancient woodland of Danes Dyke, or learn about traditional country crafts and skills such as hedgelaying and willow weaving.

Outdoor activities of all kinds are available – horseriding, fishing, jet-ski-ing, even gliding, for the most breathtaking way to see East Yorkshire in all its glory. And the gently undulating landscape is the perfect setting for many glorious golf courses.

Check with local tourist information centres for a fantastic range of countryside events and activities all year round.
