14th July 2023 This is a 3.4 mile walk through the estate and along the River Ouse.
The walk starts and finishes in the car park at Beningbrough Hall and Gardens, a National Trust property. It is an easy walk with no styles and gentle gradients. The part of the walk that follows the River Ouse is earthen and in, or after wet, weather maybe a bit muddy and slippy.
