Here is Paul’s ninth walk in
his monthly column.

This month his destination is South Cave.

Maps:-    EXPLORER 293
Start at GR. 923313 Roadside Clock Tower.
Distance 4.5 Miles.

Leave the cross roads near the clock tower and walk in a north easterly
direction towards Beverley/Cottingham.

After about 400 metres turn left into a surfaced lane and follow this
lane as it bears right and then becomes a track through Little Wold
Plantation. On reaching the track at the top of the plantation, turn
right and follow this track to meet the road at a point known as
Beverley Clump. Turn left on reaching the road and follow the road as it
swings to the right and pass the Radio Masts. On reaching the entrance
to Weedly Farm on your left, locate a stile on your right and cross into
the field and walk with the hedge on your right.

Cross a second stile and walk along a grassy track with the hedge on
your left and, on reaching a junction of paths, turn left towards Mount
Airy Farm. Pass through the farm and leave on a surfaced road. This road
swings sharply to the right and after a further 400 metres, locate a
path on the left and follow this towards South Cave. On reaching the
road turn left back to the cars.

An alternative route can be taken. On reaching the path junction prior
to Mount Airy Farm, instead of turning left turn right and follow a
clear path to meet the farm road and continue down this farm road to
meet the main road. Turn left and walk back to the cars.
