The Yorkshire Wolds Way National Trail | A Walk In The Wolds

[@seanodonnell3683]

YES!! A KZbinr who doesn't start with the tired old "What's up guys" as they begin to talk at you about something utterly forgettable. The opening scene to this video already captures your enthusiasm and genuine want to share your passion for hiking. Awesome!

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Thanks for the comment! So glad you enjoy my films :) Stay wild!

[@barryfullick7981]

And who doesn't feel it's compulsory to assault our ears with utterly inappropriate crud-crappy tasteless drivel music. Thank you Abbie for your minimal but warmly informative commentary and for knowing when to shut up and let the landscape speak for itself, unlike probably the majority of you tubers who bigger up the enjoyment of some damn fine camera work and the landscapes they portray, by their insistence on having an unutterably dire sound track. So, Guys n gals take a leaf out of Abbie's book Resist the urge to inflict your irritatingly intrusively tasteless unmusical noise on your audience and more people will enjoy instead of enduring your efforts. Also you cannot tart up mediocre camera work with an awful sound track. It's akin to putting lipstick on a pig.

[@barryfullick7981]

@@phoebe5843 it's because I'm old Phoebe, and my fund of tolerance for shoddy goods was spent long ago. By the way, I thought I was quite an early bird, but you must have been awake since stupid o'clock!

[@phoebe5843]

@@barryfullick7981 That's because I'm from Asia hence the time difference. Anyway I'm with you with concern to your no-music preference as i also find it a bit distracting from what's really happening in the video.

[@Alji3dom]

I had to replay that part about the wolds Inn. 'Consider yer self at home consider yer self one of the family' as the Artful dodger sang. Shame on them for the flat welcome. I'm from Yorkshire Skipton and Yorkshire is so diverse we have everything you could want hiking wise. It's So flat where you are. Although I've never done this trail but I've cycled the coast line and the flat vista starts in York to the coast. The chalk cliffs are stunning...love your positivity, thank you for your lovely treks.

[@zennor_man]

Excellent video of a lovely part of this country, thanks. Abbie, I hereby nominate you for the role of National Trails Ambassador.

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Boom!!

[@shep9231]

I... agree with the notion!.

[@flatandsplat]

Wow! Great video. I'm planning to do both the Yorkshire Wolds and Cleveland Way in one trek as I will be coming over from Australia. It's great to get an insight to what the track looks like and what to expect. Awesome !

[@adriancaldwell]

I notice the Wolds Inn gets 1 star on trip advisor for having a basil faulty landlord who hates wet visitors, think it's changed ownership since thankfully Great video!

[@danielrao3120]

Your determination to see this walk through in all the diverse weather conditions is admirable. But it's your enthusiasm that shines out like a beacon. This video kept me enthralled. Thank you.

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Thanks so much for watching! Sure was a bit wild but amazing!!

[@Mr71paul71]

I'm going to enjoy watching my new favorite KZbin channel, as first your a good TV presenter, secondly your very cute !!!! and more importantly your intelligent which is a very attractive feature !!!!! And I have to give you a big thumbs up for your presentation of my home turf, its very interesting to see it from your point of view and very amusing to hear your funny pronunciation of the place names

[@JonnyHamster]

How wonderful - really takes me back. I'm a Yorkshireman and always felt more affinity with the Wolds than with the Dales and Moors. Love the wide open spaces out there, a landscape you could describe as 'milky' . Thankyou Abbie, your cheerful nature and love of things natural/geographical are really helping me through a low point in my life.

[@shep9231]

Aye... the landscape... brings back memories of home...

[@hikingwiththeshackletons]

Another great video Abbie. Now our daughters are older & experienced in hiking, we are planning our first expedition with them. I’m X Army so I’m used to it. It will be a great addition to their already enthusiastic attitude towards the outdoors. Xx

[@minimobilereview6570]

Presented incredibly, you are such a joy to watch and listen to and the knowledge I gained regarding this walk was immense. I will be attempting this walk with my partner this summer and am so glad I found your video of the Wolds. You have inspired new confidence in me and fully look forward to watching more of your awesome work. Happy Backpacking x

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Thanks for following Mike! Hope you guys have a fab trip. Abbie

[@MichaelAndersen_DK]

Kudos for doing the trail in those conditions with but a smile on your face. Really enjoyed this, cheers!

[@missdarby1]

What a great vid..I'm a cyclist living near the wolds, and came across your vid of the wolds by chance. I thought the way you described your walk really enjoyable. And so glad you didn't have music playing in n the background. Cheers jim

[@markh5399]

Thanks for this. Nice to see you well and making people happy.

[@bigbarty8648]

Another great video, thanks Abbie. I'm rather ancient now and can't get out much these days so I get a lot of enjoyment from watching your videos. I live near the coast in Sussex and used to love walking along the Downs and through the woods. 😊

[@Mordred478]

I really enjoyed that. You have a very pleasant demeanor and it's easy to get drawn in. I discovered the therapeutic effects of walking through Nature not long ago and look forward to watching more of your videos.

[@michaelhallam6336]

Hi Abbie, and thank you for your captivating video's that bring back so many days of enjoyment in the countryside for me and so many others! Due to serious illness I'm unable to get out, but your encouragement and sheer enthusiasm gives me positive hope that I'll be reaching those targets! Thanks so much and keep on keeping on

[@maggiedoor6093]

I could watch and listen to you all day! I am in Ontario, Canada , four years left before retiring. I was born in the UK and my family is in Surrey, Kent and Susex. I hope to do a Downs walk too. We have the Bruce trail in Ontario, it runs past our town.

[@chriss665]

Thanks Abbie, for such an interesting film, you're recording , editing, and presentation is of a very high standard, certainly very close to tv standards, I can't wait for your next production.👍👍👍

[@davidpendry7731]

It’s like Melbourne .. 4 seasons in one day. The Humber bridge looks spectacular at night A very enjoyable hike. So many beautiful churches along the route Thanks for all the information along the way

[@johnstewart8414]

Well done a total delight to watch and to listen too .you should have your own tv show promoting your trail walks .Many thanks for showing us what are true British delights it might be a thought to see if you can show us a local delight in cooking .Again many thanks

[@kamiltrzebiatowski9331]

This is a lovely video. I am local to this part of the world (I live in Hull) and have walked the entire Yorkshire Wolds Way (among a number of other trails). The Wolds are really stunning. Well done on walking it! I myself walk for therapeutic reasons and am drawn to the countryside (the quieter and more remote the better), so I understand that perfectly well.

[@hebicat]

Well that was great, but God I could feel that weather at times! Thanks for the wander.

[@GaryMaddockGreene]

Terrific video Abbie. Thank you for taking the time to show your walk. It's great to see your views of the Humber Bridge and Hessle, just a few miles from where we live in Hull. My wife and I were in Wharram Percy at the weekend (fantastic spot) and were just talking about walking the entire Wolds Way. You've inspired me into action.

[@ianc4681]

Im from Hessle and often park on the foreshore to gaze at the amazing bridge,well done on the walk,you make it look so easy,3 miles and im ready for a kip👍👍

[@Lostgirladventures10]

Loved watching this thanku so much for sharing. I’m from North Yorkshire I live in York and I used to always visit Filey as a child. Loved watching this u are amazing xxxx

[@Adventurer_Dave]

The Wolds Inn in Huggate has recently changed hands, so the welcome might be slightly less frosty than the one Abbie received

[@KG-ui7ji]

That was great to watch thankyou for taking us along with you. The sounds of the countryside make me feel like I'm back in England. I'm back in NZ after living in Somerset for a few years and I'm missing the English countryside alot.

Beautiful!

[@ericharkness1862]

Fantastic Abbie, thank you. None of the still photos of the wolds way I'd seen before now came close to conveying what your video did. I'm a hundred times more eager to walk the wolds myself now.

Thanks for watching. Hope you have a great time if/when you go!

Sorry the interview we took didnt make the final cut - the wind was just so loud!! Such a shame as we had a great convo. Take care, Abbie

[@Surefiresecurity]

I really enjoyed your videos on the Wolds Way Abbie. I'm a biker at heart and know many of these villages as they are on my doorstep. I've been looking at doing the WW recently along with my father so your video proved invaluable. BTW my New Testament always travels with me wherever I go. I've spent many nights reading it whilst camping on the Moors or the Dales.

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Hey Mark thanks for the comment. Sure is a great walk and I can imagine fab place to bike. Take care.

[@kevinmorriss]

Really enjoy your videos. Just finalized my last details for a summer walk on the Cleveland Way this morning. It'll be my fourth long distance walk on your island. If you ever want to hike the Grand Canyon, let us know. You now have friends in Arizona.

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Fantastic! Please feel free to share your pics on my FB page: facebook.com/Abbie-Barnes-Song-Thrush-Productions-426384884130124/ Would love to hit the Grand Canyon - such a dream but not yet in the budget. Thanks for following :)

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Brilliant! Enjoy it!

[@davidspencer6384]

@@AbbieBarnesWILD Thanks, I think we will. It'll be trail no 3 (although the Dales Way isn't an official NT, I don't think?) and we've totally got the bug. Even planning it is exciting. Keep posting your videos; they really are helpful and interesting.

[@nicolaj665]

Lovely to stumble on your video. I'm from Hull and know Hessle Forshore well having spent many hours there. I remember seeing the Humber bridge being built and we would regularly go down to watch the work in progress. I've also had many a meal at The Country Park too. It was flooded some time back with a tide surge but is open again now. Really enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Thank you so much for posting.

Hello Abbie, loved your video. I'm hoping to do my first walk this year. Getting some training in locally. I'm up to about 8 miles per day. I never thought i'd fall in love with walking but i have. I'm looking on the National Trails website ready to learn all about it. Your video is the first i've seen and has really inspired me. Thank you. I've got a feeling i'm going to spend the rest of my life doing these walks whilst listening to lectures.

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Amazing!! Welcome to the world of walking!!

[@2Travelis2Live]

I am really enjoying your videos of the walking ways in Great Britain. I am from the United States, and I hope to one day to take one of these walks. In Colorado, I am accustomed to walking up hill and in higher elevations, but I think I will need to condition myself for the longer walks. I am super into the history of Great Britain. So I find your videos fascinating not just because of the pastoral scenery but the architecture and history.

[@daviemcf]

Yes Julia Bradbury watch out....Abbie is after your job....great video Abbie.

[@davidspencer6384]

Hi Abbie. We finished this walk on Tuesday (week before last). Used your blog as the outline plan, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thanks for making these excellent videos.

Gorgeous! Thank you so much for taking me along with you. Dynamic scenery especially the dry river valleys and those massive fields. Shame about the weather but that's all part of exploring the countryside. An excellent film. Enjoyed the interview with the national trial guys. So pleased to see how positive you were over the three days.

[@Mtnsunshine]

Great film Abbie. Intreasting to see a part of England I hadn't seen before. After walking over the White Cliffs of Dover today it was a nice relaxing way to end the day. I've only been day hiking for about year now. Wish I'd started years ago. A great way to spend your free time. Hopefully you'll find time to check out the walks in Kent. My part of the world. Good luck with all you future adentures.

Thank you Abbie for such a lovely video of such an overlooked place. I live in Hull only a few miles away from Hessle and yes us locals do pronounce the s's as z's. I have often walk many parts of this trail as day hikes but as yet never done the full trail from start to finish. But your video has inspired me to do so hopefully very soon. Thanks again and will continue to watch your videos.

I live in Filey and have walked the YWW and also CW. Loved your accounts, can’t camp any more (too old lol) but I was really disappointed to hear you weren’t well received at a stop over!! (Goodmanham I think!). Not what you want to hear at all, especially as folks normally say how welcoming Yorkshire is. Hey ho we all have a bad day!

[@wildlifespotteruk]

Awesome vlog, thoroughly enjoyed your journey along this walk, just subbed. I've recently got into walking/hiking since starting photography back in 2017 but have never done this walk despite it being on my doorstep. I occasionally do the parkruns that are run at the Humber Bridge every weekend (just through the tunnel past the windmill you see at 7.33 in the video). I mainly do nature day walks where I film/photograph wildlife but this has inspired me to expand into longer, more challenging multi-day hikes. Going to go through your content to see what other amazing places you have walked.

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Great to have you here!
