Cowlam & Cottam Round

Saturday 19th September 2026 – Wolds Saturday - Cowlam & Cottam Round

Join me for a walk in the High Wolds between the two now deserted medieval villages of Cowlam and Cottam, along the way we will pass a working Church in a farmyard (yes really), follow the course of three dry valleys, pass a ruined Church and cross the site of a long forgotten World War 2 RAF base, all this and more…

Meet - 10 am at the hamlet of Cowlam, YO25 3AD
