This is clearly a popular route. I never see anyone at the godforsaken hours that I go out hiking and trailrunning (generally start before sunrise in winter), yet I did see plenty of dogwalkers, hikers and runners out and about in Welton Dale and surrounding bridleways and footpaths. As a result a lot of the tracks are very muddy. Not boggy, you won't lose a shoe, but they can be very slippery in winter.

Originally constructed as part of the Welton House estate. The original house was demolished in 1952 but the Mill House is now listed. Loads of history at https://www.yorkshiregardenstrust.org.uk/research/sites/welton-house

Take a hike here in winter, early morning or late afternoon when there is less natural light, as the hundreds of lights around the church wall at ground level are quite spectacular. There has been a church in this location since the reign of William Rufus in the 11th century, as coins from the period were found in the foundations of part of the church during its 19th-century restoration.

Picturesque village with ample parking around the vicinity of the pond, which is quite spectacular around Christmas, when backlit by hundreds of lights on the wall around St. Helen's Church.
