The walk cross 3 major roadways so care must be taken. This review is based upon a walk done after a significant dry spell so the walk was good if hard underfoot....

It was walked on a beautiful sunny day and there were no issues, however it could be a different matter if it had not have been during a dry spell, as areas of the walk would flood and one area was a little muddy even though there has not been any rainfall recently. Some areas would also pose accessibility issues with steps, a stile and narrow paths. Would definitely recommend this walk for a dry day....

I'd echo the other reviews in finding this a great route, almost a perfect encapsulation of the Slow Ways ideal - especially the portion on the old railway path....

Marked as 4 star because of slightly dangerous crossing of A658 from Rudding to Follifoot....

There is a bus service between Wetherby and Tadcaster which runs Monday to Saturday: number 492, a North Yorkshire Council minibus....

A few areas to take care, the small section next to the A64 is narrow, rocky and requires concentration. As you come down the hill into Collingham the path is narrow with a couple of difficult stiles....

There are some confusing signs through this section, warning of a change in the route of the path. The path simply continues along the edge of the field before turning 90 degrees to re-join the original path at Crimple Beck. This path takes you to Spofforth, where the A661 is crossed again, and then continues on along Crimple Beck....

Both use the same route from Tadcaster to Newton Kyme, and they cross over in places, so you could mix and match. The section from Newton Kyme to Wetherby is mostly tarmac, so would be suitable for wheelers. The section along the river from Tadcaster to Newton Kyme is not, but there's good pavement most of the way from Tadcaster to Newton Kyme which would give an accessible alternative. It then follows the river all the way to the village of Newton Kyme, passing through a few gates on the way. From Newton Kyme village it re-joins the road for a short while, mostly on pavement, before turning off onto the mixed use pedestrian and cycle path along the old railway line....

1.The path that descends through Bathing Well Wood is not very obvious but is signposted from the main path (see photo). When walking on the path from Rudding Lane to Follifoot, keep the golf course on the left and wall for Rudding Park on the immediate right3 The path to Quarry Mill Lane is obvious if you are looking for it and slopes upwards on the right 100 yards before the Quarry Mill Lane bridge (see photo).....

This route does not appear to follow public rights of way between Little Ribston and North Deighton...

Approaching Wetherby the route shows a R turn from the old railway line onto a bridleway crossing the railway (waypoint 392, grid reference 397491....

There are a couple of short (300 metres) sections on paths alongside B roads and the route crosses over the A658. The majority of the walk is in picturesque countryside and I would definitely walk it again!...

This is a well trodden route mainly along the River Wharfe and Ebor Way, which links into Long Distance Walks e.g. Dales Way and Cleveland Way. Beautiful river....
