โEmbark on an 18 km trail from Hovingham to Malton, blending natural beauty, historical landmarks, and moderate challenge.โ
Starting near the picturesque village of Hovingham in North Yorkshire, England, this 18 km (approximately 11 miles) point-to-point trail offers a delightful mix of natural beauty, historical landmarks, and moderate physical challenge. With an elevation gain of around 300 meters (about 984 feet), the trail is rated as medium difficulty, making it suitable for hikers with some experience.
#### Hovingham to Slingsby (0-5 km / 0-3 miles) The first section of the trail takes you through the Hovingham Estate, where you'll encounter well-maintained paths and the occasional glimpse of deer. After about 5 km (3 miles), you'll reach the village of Slingsby. Here, you can explore the ruins of Slingsby Castle, a 17th-century manor house that adds a touch of historical intrigue to your hike.
#### Slingsby to Coneysthorpe (5-10 km / 3-6 miles) Continuing from Slingsby, the trail meanders through more open countryside and gently rolling hills. This section is relatively flat, offering a respite before the more challenging parts ahead. At around the 10 km (6 miles) mark, you'll arrive in Coneysthorpe, a small village that serves as a gateway to the Castle Howard estate.
#### Coneysthorpe to Malton (10-18 km / 6-11 miles) The final stretch of the trail takes you through the Castle Howard estate, one of the grandest stately homes in England. The estate's expansive grounds are a highlight, featuring beautifully landscaped gardens, lakes, and woodland. As you leave the estate, the trail becomes more undulating, with a few steeper sections that contribute to the overall elevation gain.
