Start point
Beningbrough Hall car park, YO30 1DD. Grid ref: SE518585
Step 1
Start in the car park. With your back to visitor reception, head diagonally towards the gate in the far-right corner. Go through the gate and follow the path towards Home Farm. With the farm on your right, continue left along the tarmac road.
Step 2
Cross over the main exit road and continue through the gate directly in front of you. Follow the concrete path with views over Beningbrough’s parkland on your left-hand side.
Step 3
To follow the main route, continue to Step 4. Optional loop: to extend your route along the Larch walk, enter the woods through the gate on your right before you reach the picnic area. Either follow the wooded path round and turn back once you get to the metal gate or turn right at the gate (where the road crosses the two wooded areas) and follow the road back towards Home Farm, re-joining the trail at Step 2.
Step 4
Head through the gate towards the picnic area. Continue along the pathway around the pond.
Step 5
Keep following the pathway towards the trees and take a left turn into the woods. Follow this bark mulch path through the woods until you come out at Newton Lodge.
Step 6
Optional loop: at Newton Lodge you can leave the estate, turning right to circle through the historic village of Newton-on-Ouse, taking in the church, the pub and the war memorial, all with strong links to Beningbrough. If you prefer to head straight back towards Beningbrough, jump to Step 7.
Step 7
Head left and along the entrance road with Newton Lodge behind you. This is one of the main driveways into Beningbrough so please take extra care of passing cars. Follow the road all the way back, enjoying glimpses of the hall as you go.
Step 8
Turn right at Lime Tree Avenue and make your way up the impressive driveway towards the hall before arriving back at the car park.
