Wauldby Green 7.5 Mile Hike - Living With The Wolf

Wauldby Green is one beautiful, popular hike to do, in the gorgeous Yorkshire Wolds, East Yorkshire.

The walk is 7.5 miles long, starting and finishing just outside of Nut Wood, next to Hamlet of Raywell. In the colder months or after a lot of rainfall, the lower path near Nut Wood can get very muddy. This is the path of the first section of the walk.

Location

The walk starts and finishes just outside the Hamlet of Raywell, 7 miles north-west of the City of Hull.

If you are driving using your Satnav, use this postcode: HU16 5WH. The postcode will lead close to the parking. The actual parking is on Riplingham Road, between Westfield Road junction and Raywell. You will highly likely see lots of cars parked on the grass verge. This is where the walk starts.

Parking

You can park your car either on the tarmac parking area or on the grass verge. Just make sure you are not blocking the road or any parked car in. The parking area does get full quite quickly so it is best to get there either first thing in the morning or later in the day.
