Your guide to Walking Yorkshire
How the walks are shown.
Each walk is divided into two pages. The first is the route specification (distance, time, location, etc), a Google Map showing the route over the ground, a description from the time we walked the walk (talking the talk?) and a photo gallery of shots on the walk. The second is the hand-drawn map and route guide which links key points of the route to the map.
Why do we show the route over two pages?
Walking Yorkshire is free to use, so we derive money to defray our costs from advertising and sponsorship. Ordnance Survey (whose maps we use to derive our route sketch maps) have rules which do not allow advertising on the same page as the map.
How are the walks are categorised?
Any geographical categorisation method is, by its nature, difficult. Walks cross county boundaries and other artificial human divisions. After long discussion, we've tried to come up with a categorisation that makes sense to us and, we hope, to you. If you have any suggestions on how we might improve matters, please let us know.
Search
The search function on Walking Yorkshire is very powerful. Often the best way to find a walk in a certain area or near a certain town or village is to use the name in the search tool. Again, if you find any anomalies, please let us know. We'd appreciate it.
