Overview
- The Huggate Circular is a straightforward four-mile loop that appeals to both new and experienced walkers, with views over Holme Dale and Horse Dale and poetry benches along the Wolds Way.
- St Mary’s Church is a 12th-century Grade I listed landmark distinguished by a tall spire visible for miles across the High Wold.
- The village features one of England’s deepest wells at 116 yards, which historically served as Huggate’s main water source.
- Huggate is often cited as the highest village on the Yorkshire Wolds at about 558 feet above sea level, though nearby Fridaythorpe makes the same claim.
- Visitors are advised to dress for winter mud, with Huggate set between Pocklington and Driffield and roughly half an hour from Hull.
