There are 2 walks (a Long and a Short walk) organised by David and Gaynor Badham both walks starting from Coxwold Village Hall car park where you should leave your cars.

For both walks stout footwear with good treads is advisable to withstand the rigours of winter weather as well as clothing suitable for this time of year. Maps of both walks are below.

Both walks are suitable for dogs but you are requested to keep them on a lead when on paths across farming land. At the time of writing this description there are no cattle on either of the walk paths.


The long walk

The LONG Walk is 5 miles starting at 11am from the car park and is scheduled to get back to the car park by 2pm. There is only 1 stile. This walk will be led by David and has been chosen to suite walkers able to cover this distance in the time frame of 3hrs which will include a short refreshment/rest stop (bring what you need). 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 long walk, 5 miles.

The short walk

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. This walk will be led by Gaynor and is a more leisurely walk over a shorter distance chosen to suite walkers accustomed to a more leisurely pace. You may wish to bring some light refreshment.

The short walk, 2miles.
