Beningborough and back

After the Christmas break, this is a flat ride to start with to get our legs going! Heading out from Easingwold along the Raskelf road, turning left to Tholthorpe. Pass through the village, admiring the recently drained pond (much less smelly), past the tip to Flawith. Right at Alne cross, and then left in Youlton, joining the Sustrans route for a brief off road section of about 1 mile, leading to Linton woods lane. Left in Linton, then right in Newton, heading up the main driveway to Beningborough hall. Coffee stop can be at Home farm, or at Beningborough where apparently they offer free drinks with your food if you arrive by bike! After refreshments, back via Newton, Tollerton and Alne to Easingwold.
