Here the path returns to the riverside and follows it all the way to Skidby Landing where it heads inland and joins the Beverley Road out of the city boundary.

At Thearne the path turns to follow the Beverley and Barmston Drain, a small waterway, as far as Figham before returning to the main road.

It winds it way through the outskirts to join the Hudson Way, a disused rail trail along the former York to Beverley Line, close to the A1035.

The route crosses the River Derwent just outside Elvington, but skirts the village rather going through it as it merges with the Jorvic Way as far as Wheldrake.

The route then heads west across Walmgate Stray and the A19 (Fulford Road) to the east bank of the River Ouse.
