Circular from Wetherby, taking in Linto, Sicklinghall and Stockeld Park
May 31, 2025 @ 1:30 am – 2:00 am
The walk will start from the free riverside car park on Bridgefoot, Wetherby LS22 6RF at 9:00am. See attached map – it’s called the Wilderness car park on there. I think parking here may end up being charged for at some point too, but it was still free a couple of weeks ago. Make sure you have a means of payment just in case it’s changed by 31st May.
We’ll leave the car park and cross over the bridge and walk past the sports centre and then by the river until the foot bridge. We cross this and walk across Wetherby Golf Course and through Linton. We then go up a short steep hill to join Trip Lane which we follow until the start of the driveway to Wood Hall. We veer off to the right here and cut across fields to Sicklinghall. This is where we are likely to meet any mud for the first time on this walk – if there has been any significant rain by then. Once in Sicklinghall we walk along the pavements to reach Stockeld Lane and we take that to walk to and then through Stockeld Park. We must carefully cross the busy Wetherby – Harrogate Road and shortly after that we reach the disused railway line/cycleway which leads us into Wetherby. We’ll stop at Bel Sourire for refreshments before walking back to the carpark.
There’s a variety of stiles and gates on this walk and sheep, cows and horses may be encountered.
Please wear appropriate clothing and footwear, which take account of the weather forecast, and bring a drink. Poles are very useful on the uphill and downhill sections as well as for stability when we encounter some mud, but I’m not insisting on them at this time of year. I will not have time to recce this walk beforehand, so we need to be prepared for all conditions.
I do my best to assess the weather and the likely walking conditions but would ask everyone to decide whether a particular walk is right for them on that day. Please note that everyone taking part in the walk does so at their own risk.
Please reply to this email if you would like to join this walk.
