You could choose a gentle four-mile evening stroll on relatively flat land starting at Market Weighton with the opportunity for a sociable drink afterwards.

Or, for those who like more of a challenge there is an 18-mile walk starting from Blakey Ridge on Sunday, which will take in high moorland, with some stiff climbs. This one is only for the fit, but you will see from the programme that there is something to suit all ages and abilities.

Listed below are the dates, starting point, map reference, starting time and distance for all the free, circular guided walks in this area for the week beginning Thursday May 1.

If you would like to join any of them just turn up at the starting point wearing stout shoes, with some weatherproof clothing, a drink and, if the walk is more than about five miles, a packed lunch.
