This a short circular walk through the deer parkland and woods on the Sledmere Estate with views over Sledmere house. Approx 2 miles.
It includes 3 HIGH stiles and isn’t suitable for a pram; young children will need help over the stiles.
To access the walk you park just off the main road adjacent to the deer parkland opposite the estate houses surrounding the green on the Garton side of the Bridlington Road (B1253). There’s plenty of off road parking. Follow the fence line to your right and the public footpath signs around some outhouses towards the first stile.
Once over the first stile into the deer parkland you cross the fields walking straight ahead with views of Sledmere house to your right.
Crossing the third and final stile you walk through a small wooded area at the end of which you meet a track where you’ll need to turn left and follow the road into the wood. Always keep left on this track as other tracks lead away in other directions.
As you get towards the end of the wood and back to the road where you’ll have parked, there’s a path through the trees and along the fence line of the deer park back to the car. You will see deer in close proximity.
You could do this walk the opposite way round, walking through the wood first as it’s a long walk after the excitement of the deer.
