Midweek walk: 5 miles from Follifoot to Spofforth and return along  Crimple Beck.

This is an easy, fairly flat walk through two lovely villages which have some interesting history, before returning along Crimple Beck, from where some unusual geological formations can be seen. The walk takes us on footpaths, across fields and through Spofforth Golf Course, then returns along the beck. There are inevitably a couple of stretches along roads but the rest of the walk makes up for them. There are few stiles, however the beckside path is narrow and can be muddy and overgrown. Also please be aware that there could be long grass in some fields which can be very wet in the morning. We will stop for coffee at the Castle Inn in Spofforth which has outdoor as well as indoor space.
