Trail Map XT40 – Yorkshire Wolds Way Harvey Maps Cheap

Harvey Maps says

Entire route on one map.

The Yorkshire Wolds Way is a 127 km (79 mile) walking route in the chalk landscape of the Yorkshire Wolds.

The National Trail wends through some of the most tranquil and gentle countryside in England. From the dramatic headland of Filey Brigg to the mighty Humber estuary, the walk passes along wooded slopes and through serene dry valleys, climbing gently onto the airy tops of the rolling hills where on a clear day you can see forever.

Our Verdict

Harvey Map’s Trail Map XT40 – Yorkshire Wolds Way is perfect for anyone wanting a practical and durable map to cover large areas without the need for 1:25,000 level detail. The Harvey Maps use light, waterproof paper so they are much easier to use and store than traditional paper or laminated maps. I moved over to Harvey Maps a few years ago and love using them for the weight, slim profile and waterproof nature as they are much more practical to use out on the hill. The Trail Map XT40 series is perfect for long distance routes, whether thru hiking or section hiking these famous routes.

Due to the size of the map and the 1:40,000 scale I wouldn’t take this to somewhere new where I would need to do a lot of navigation or straying far from the actual route of this particular walk but for picking out general features or use as a quick reference on your way this is hard to beat. If you haven’t used Harvey Maps before they are different to OS maps but key features and symbols are easily understood and you soon get used to them.
