Cloggie Sam Trod (8 miles, moderate)

Join us for our last walk of 2025 before the clocks go back!

The Cloggie Sam Trod is a new walk in series of Wold Ranger Way trails. This guided walk is approximately 8-miles taking place over a mixture of made-up footpaths, green lanes and tracks with a couple of minor road sections too. It should take approximately 3.5 hours to complete depending on the walking pace of the group and the number of stops made.

We rate this walk as 'moderate' as there are a few steep hills.

Note: We have timed this walk to be compatible with the 535 bus route to/from Driffield but please check timings for yourself here - 535 - Driffield - Sledmere (Circular) – East Hull Community Transport – Bus Times
