The Sanctuary Way Walk is a 10-mile (16 km) circular walk around the city of Ripon in North Yorkshire. The walk traces a route around the city and has eight trail points at the places where waymarkers used to designate that travellers were within 1-mile (1.6 km) of the cathedral at Ripon and thus afforded The Sanctuary of Ripon. The waymarker at Sharow is the base of one of the crosses that used to mark the edge of the Sanctuary of Ripon.
