Ebor Way
The Ebor Way is approximately 70 miles long and connects Helmsley and Ilkley. At Helmsley it connects to the Cleveland Way, and at Ilkley it connects to the Dales Way. It is mostly a gentle walk, and one that is not too long for those who like to take their time taking in the many views.
One particular lingering place is York, and many may wish to take a day off walking the Ebor Way to visit the many sights of York.
As can be seen from the table below, there is plenty of accommodation options, and much choice of lunch-time stops, making this a good option for walkers of all abilities.
Not only do we show you where to find accommodation and places to eat and drink (click in table below), but we show the guidebooks and maps required, and make them available to buy online.

Ebor Way Accommodation
We have split accommodation along the Ebor Way into Hotels & Inns and Bed & Breakfast. Guest House accommodation is included with Bed and Breakfast, and while we realise many of them are as good as some hotels, in order to avoid confusion we have opted for the simpler option.
Ebor Way Restaurants and Pubs
We have attempted to give as much information as possible on pubs and restaurants along the Ebor Way, but restaurants and pubs are notoriously changeable. Wherever known, we have included information on pubs serving real ale and/or food. Please let us know if our information is out of date. For restaurants we have included tea shops and cafes, as well as bar meals.
Ebor Way Guidebooks & Maps
We have greatly improved our Ramblefest-Amazon store and made it very easy to find the books and maps required for your walk. Please click on the Map image to be taken to the relevant guidebooks and maps for the Ebor Way, many other outdoors books and maps, and the option of buying them online.
Ebor Way Forum
We have added a forum for those wishing to place or gain additional information or opinion on the various aspects of the Ebor Way long-distance footpath. Ebor Way Forum.
