Like the previous reviewer mentioned (Yorkie Christine's review), it was a long walk and we were definitely tired when we got to Wilberfoss, we also had a break in Dunninington, which was around the half way mark. The walk was mostly tarmac starting from York going through Osbaldwick heading towards Murton, once we got to Murton heading towards Dunnington, we encountered a similar issue where the public footpath sign leads us to a field where we couldn't get through and we had to turn back and go around it....

The route starts off well with a nice walk along the river, which is enjoyable. One negative I found of this route was that a lot of the walk was on roads, which while not busy, there is no paths so you have to be careful when walking round corners. There was one small section of the route where the slowways app appears to bring you across a farm, which is not accessible....

I set off to walk north from Wilberfoss to Stamford Bridge on a bright, cold day in early January; as one of the shorter local Slow Ways it seemed a good choice for a winter's day with short daylight hours and long shadows. Immediately beyond the pinewood north of Low Catton the route was temporarily impassable due to flooding of the River Derwent, so I doubled back to the bend in the road at Low Catton village and followed Low Catton Road into Stamford Bridge. If walking north, on arrival at Low Catton from High Catton, take the clearly-signed public footpath to the right before the bend in the road....

Two of us walked this route together from Wheldrake to Wilberfoss on a chill-damp frosty day in December. Point of interest include the 2 lovely villages of Wheldrake and Elvington, both of which have attractive churches that we found open to visitors, and the ancient Sutton Bridge over the River Derwent about half way along the route....

This walk is one of the group which forms a circumnavigation around York. There were good bus links from and to York at each end of the walk, and we had no difficulty finding the walk's beginning just past Wheldrake's picturesque St. We had no option but to continue to the end of Carr Lane, which brought us out onto the A1079 near Nelson Park Florida Keys holiday park, where, fortuitously, there was a bus stop which took us back to York via Wilberfoss (the original end of the walk)....

It follows a mix of urban pavements, tarmac cycle tracks, farmland, country lanes, gravel farm tracks and finally some river walking (this stretch will be impassable when the River Derwent is in flood). Apart from the interest involved in walking through the streets of historic York at the beginning, the most enjoyable parts for me were striding along the edge of Hagg Wood and the short walk along the River Derwent towards the end....

This is an enjoyable if unremarkable 4.5 mile walk between the villages of Wilberfoss and Stamford Bridge over roads, paths and farmlands. We walked this on a warm July morning with the songs of skylarks filling our ears. There is an easy potential detour via the Gold Cup in Low Catton for liquid refreshment should you so wish, and can easily turn it into a pub walk with good options at both the start and the end of the walk!...
