Airy Moorland Walks

Think of the North York Moors and I automatically think of high broad ridges with extensive views and glorious fresh air.

Sutton Bank and the White Horse

The area around Sutton Bank and the White Horse makes for a very enjoyable circular walk. However it takes a bit of planning. This walk includes the White Horse, Gormire Lake and superb views across the Vale Of York.

Captain Cook’s Adventure walk

The Captain Cook’s Adventure walk initially heads from Great Ayton to climb to Captain Cook’s Monument. From here follow the Cleveland Way across to the distinctive outline of Roseberry Topping.

Glaisdale Rigg walk

Start the walk in the village before climbing steeply on to Glaisdale Rigg. From the Rigg and its excellent views the route arrives at the head of Glaisdale, the return along the valley floor.

Head of Farndale walk

This is a short walk at the head of Farndale. The walk rises quickly to the ridge where you follow the old railway track around to Bloworth Crossing. It offers a good taster of the scenery in this lovely area.

Moors over Carlton Bank

The moors over Carlton Bank offer some excellent walking with views towards the sea and Teesside! The old gliding club and a fine trig point break up this simple walk. The low level return is via Faceby.
