The Yorkshire Wolds are a crescent of low chalk hills in the East Riding, curving from the Humber up to the sea at Flamborough. It is quiet, open farming country of dry valleys, big skies and estate villages, which David Hockney painted again and again in the 2000s.
The Yorkshire Wolds Way walks through it for 79 miles, from the Humber Bridge to Filey. Its sights include Sledmere House, the deserted medieval village of Wharram Percy, and the minster town of Beverley on its eastern edge. The chalk ends in the sea cliffs of Flamborough Head and Bempton.
