Nunnington and Oswaldkirk bank

This is a new route and includes some challenging but perfectly do-able hills! We set off to Crayke and Brandsby, avoiding the bank but taking the more private parallel road to climb. From there on another back road to Gilling where we join the Helmsley road, through Gilling and on to Oswaldkirk. The bank rises gradually initially, and we can pull off on the corner to take a breather before tackling the second part. At the top, turn right and then left after about 1/2 mile to another back road through to Nunnington village. There is a choice of coffee shops, at the Hall or in the village. Back with a steady climb to the top of Caulkley bank, Hovingham, and then up to Yearsley.
