2 of 4

After a mile (1.6km), at the T-junction, turn right, then left through Partridge Hall. Pass above a wood and eventually turn left to descend into Nunburnholme.
3 of 4

Turn left after the church, then right around a field to the road, where you turn left. Fork right up a steep track through Bratt Wood to Wold Farm, cross the Warter–Pocklington road (B1246) and follow a bridleway, with Kilnwick Percy below to the left, to a farm. Follow the access lane to a junction.

To continue into Millington, take the lane ahead. To by-pass the village and continue directly on the Wolds Way, turn right right up a track beside Warrendale Plantation, then left along the wold-top above Millington. For a short while the Yorkshire Wolds Way coincides with the Minster Way, a 51-mile (82km) walk between York and Beverley Minsters.
