A picturesque village in North Yorkshire, Blankney Stepping Out is a hidden gem nestled in the rolling hills of the North York Moors National Park. This charming village is surrounded by lush green countryside, woodlands, and heather-covered moors, offering breathtaking views and scenic walks. Visitors can explore the village's quaint streets, lined with old stone cottages, tea rooms, and local shops, and enjoy a range of outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, and horse riding.
I'm not sure if i parked in the wrong place but it did say Blankney Walkers only. I parked on a small car park, possibly would fit 8 - 10 cars, it was off a main road, where my sat nav took me, the walk can be as long or as short as you choose but all very 'samey' we walked around 2 miles and the whole walk was around the sides of farmers fields and at the edge of of a couple of small woods that the public aren't allowed in. My dogs are well behaved so stayed mainly on the paths at the side. Underfoot is uneven and has a few dips and there are a few stiles to climb over in so would be difficult for less able bodied people. The car park was free and there are no toilets. Please be aware that while we were there there was a hunt of some sort and the baying dogs and gunshots freaked my little Scout out and she bolted, luckily she went straight back to the van but, as I mentioned, the car park is by a main road. Overall, for us, quite a boring walk and the hunt really upset the girls and me.
Make sure you have suitable footwear as areas can be very wet and muddy. Nice parking area. Take extreme care when going over the bridge with your car as going fast over it could cause damage to your underneath. Very peaceful. Great walks.
A beautiful, peaceful walk just outside the villages of Metheringham and Blankney. The single track leads through a stunning arched bridge and past a flowing stream surrounded by colourful trees and countryside. A regular, great escape for an hour.
Easy, flat and very pretty. Quiet lanes, bridleways and footpaths. We went in a circular from Scopwick
Two or three Stepping Out walks all starting from the car park located at the bridge. Easy and very pleasant. Used to do these on a daily basis with my lovely dog. The walking routes previously displayed on the board in the car park by the local council has been missing for some time though which is a shame.
Good sized car park for what it is (room for half a dozen cars & turning space). Nice location away from the main road over the humpback bridge. All walks from or through the car park are pleasant, enjoyable and (unsurprisingly for Linc's) flat and forgiving. Parking is free and there are a couple of benches, a bin and a map of the local 'stepping out' walks and surrounding area.
