Wild Yorkshire Way

N Yorkshire, S Yorkshire, W Yorkshire

The Wild Yorkshire Way is a "hop on, hop off" circular long distance hike of around 500 miles, taking in some of Yorkshire's finest and wildest scenery, and keeping mostly within the old Yorkshire county. It ventures into the North York Moors National Park going along the Cleveland coast and later the Yorkshire Dales and Peak District Parks. It includes parts of the Pennine Way, Yorkshire Three Peaks, Coast to Coast Walk, Cleveland Way, Yorkshire Wolds Way and Trans Pennine Trail.

The route is described online in 38 sections by its originator Ian Fletcher. Very few people will attempt the entire route in one go, but you can enjoy sections of the route, or even single day walks, and slowly complete the walk by filling in the missing sections. The route prefers high and wild terrain wherever possible, although the wildest and hardest sections usually have easier alternatives. You will notice that several day walks start and end at pubs, which is of course entirely intentional! The dedicated website below is under continuous development and will be updated regularly. It includes OS mapping.
