Yorkshire Wolds Way Access Walk, Welton

Description

The walk starts in the village of Welton in the Yorkshire Wolds. The village has an attractive village green, beck and church. The Green Dragon Inn is famous for the being the place Dick Turpin was arrested in 1739. At the time he was known only as John Palmer.
