The perfect dry chalk valley, at the head of Deep Dale near the summit of Bishop Wilton Wold.Bishop Wilton Wold, sometimes called Garrowby Hill, is the summit of the Yorkshire Wolds and is both a Marilyn and a County Top (of the East Riding of Yorkshire). Although the actual highest point is by a main road, and unattractive, the rest of this walk is a fine introduction to the region. It seems odd to find all the characteristics of chalk downland so far north in England, but they are here: extensive rolling green views, dry valleys, and white scars where the underlying rock breaks through. This is a relatively easy circular walk which works well in either direction.

In reply to Drew Whitworth:

The "tumulus" summit is in the middle of a farmer's field and usually has crops growing with no route through. So if you want to "bag" it then maybe wait until after harvest.
