In the event of inclement weather or fatigue this walk can be shortened at the crossover point to return to the car park (cuts 1 mile and approx.45mins off the 5mile walk time – a straight route back to Coxwold along an old railway track, now a footpath.

The SHORT walk is 2 miles starting at 12.30pm from the car park and is scheduled to get back to the car park by 2pm allowing for stops to take in the views. There are no stiles.
