An East Riding Walk to take advantage of the fine winter weather on Monday 28 January 2019, about 8 and a half miles.
We parked along Wolfreton Road. The walk took us east, first along Wolfreton Villas, then to the path adjacent to the extensive allotments and the magnificent water pumping station.
There we turned north along the footpath next to the drain, Sand Dyke, across Willerby Road, through Springhead Park Golf Course, left a few yards along Carr Lane, then north again on across the fields, on the footpath via the derelict Haltemprice Priory Farm to Cottingham, a short distance west through the Cottingham boundary streets to Awmand Green and south on the public footpath to Haggs House, Haggs Lane, Haggs Farm and Willerby Low Road.
Into Willerby for a lovely cup of tea and delicious scones at Gingers of Willerby, then east along Well Lane and backtracking south on the footpath towards the golf course, the pumping station and Wolfreton Road.
Highlights were the allotments (an example of successful cooperation), the pumping station, Springhead Golf Course looking beautiful in the winter light, and catching sight of a couple of roe deer ambling across the fields, and especially the warm welcome and lovely food at Gingers of Willerby. These rare, cold, clear days had a special spiritual significance for T S Eliot, celebrated in his poem, Little Gidding.
