Walking East Yorkshire Festival Approaches

The 14th annual Walking East Yorkshire Festival is set to return, providing a huge variety of experiences from Bridlington to Spurn Point

From the 14th-22nd September, guided walks and experiences are being held across the county.

The festival is brought together by tourism, partners, and volunteers across East Yorkshire. It is administrated by Visit East Yorkshire, run in partnership with East Riding Council. The festival includes walks, cycling trails and cultural & historical tours for all the family. From vineyard tours to Horrible History walks, the festival provides an opportunity and get active and explore the county’s natural beauty and history.

Councillor Nick Coultish, Cabinet Member for Culture, Leisure, and Tourism said

“This is a fantastic festival, showcasing the very best of East Yorkshire. I highly recommend that residents and visitors get involved and take advantage of the many walks and experiences available this September”

On the coast, there are walks along the King Charles III England Coast Path between Bempton and Sewerby, along Spurn Point, and across the cliffs of RSPB Bempton. Additionally, the Council’s Active Communities Team is facilitating a beach yoga session.

Guided walks around historic stately homes are available, including tea and cake and informative tours of Wassand Hall and Sewerby Hall and gardens.

The Hornsea history walk includes a tour from the seafront to Hornsea Museum and Driffield are hosting a walk along a section of the Wold Rangers.

Other festival highlights include two award-winning vineries – Laurel Vines and Little Wold Vineyard – hosting wine tasting events, and the Boots and Beer walk visiting Wold Top Brewery.

Geo-Park walks will start from Warter or Flamborough Head, and include facts about local geology and archaeology.

The Councils Countryside access team will facilitate disabled rambles along the Yorkshire Wolds way, suitable for mountain trikes and assisted wheelchairs.

The Breeze Cycling ladies are offering several taster events for women looking to join, on pretty country roads across the East Riding, while the Ramblers invite new walkers to their scheduled walk over the Walking Festival week who may be considering group walking.

Information about all the walks and experiences can be found in the Walking East Yorkshire Festival programme, which can be found at  www.walkingeastyorkshirefestival.co.uk
