The entire route is on road, along quiet country lanes.
It passes through the villages of Westow, Leavening and Thixendale on its way to its south eastern end at Huggate.
[4] The Yorkshire Wolds is a rolling landscape, there are very few flat sections in this route.
The steepest gradients are the climbs out of Leavening and Thixendale when cycling towards Huggate.
Sustrans aims to extend the route north to Malton and Pickering.
