Before attempting any of the walks you should equip yourself with a suitable map as the maps accompanying these walking instructions are intended only as a guide. You should have a map of at least 1:50000 scale, such as the Ordnance Survey Landranger but better still is the Ordnance Survey Explorer Map (sheet 290) at a scale of 1:25000. You should also ensure that you are properly attired, with suitable footwear, and waterproof clothing if there is a threat of rain.

This guide has been compiled and published by members of the Copmanthorpe Parish Council with the support of the City of York Council’s Public Rights of Way Unit and the Countryside Agency. Since coming into being in April 1996 the City of York Council has brought about significant improvements to the rights of way network around York, with many gates, stiles and bridges having been replaced and, with the cooperation of farmers and landowners, paths kept clear of obstructions.If you would like further information about the rights of way around York, including details of other walk packs, contact the Public Rights of Way Unit on 01904551374 or visit the City of York Website at http://www.york.gov.uk/.

All downloaded walks are guided step-by-step with a supporting map.
