Help connect Wetherby

Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.

Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.

Give a hike and help get a for every one of Wetherby’s Slow Ways.

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).....

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!...
