The Route what3words for start point: ///waggled.pizzeria.pickup Start / Finish Point: Norton, Malton YO17 9HS Distance: 5 Miles GPX Route Map nortonandlangtonDownload Walk Description A circular walk near the market town of Norton on Derwent in Ryedale. The route performs a loop to the south to visit the picturesque village of Langton, taking in long stretches of peaceful tracks with stunning views plus chance to meet racehorses and pigs along the way. The walk has several climbs and descents throughout. The paths are generally firm in the dry months but can get very muddy in winter and after periods of rain. You will need to negotiate the remains of one stile (now just a wooden step about 30cm high) plus several single field and bridle gates. The vast majority of the fields are arable and the track also leads you past several pig enclosures which are surrounded by electric fencing, so be careful to keep children and dogs away from this. A couple of very short sections can get a little overgrown in the height of the growing season. You will need to cross one short grass pasture. Allow 2.5 hours. There are no refreshments or other facilities on route, but there is a handy bench in Langton if you want to take a picnic. Alternatively, Norton is just a short drive away at the end of your walk where you will find several pubs and restaurants on Church Street and Commercial Street.

Follow it around to the left until the paths split. Take the left fork, around the edges of the trees, and then left again as a path branches off into the scrubland. Follow this line until you reach a clear path intersecting yours; turn left on this path through the trees and then right. The paths split and here take the left hand higher path. Go through three fields and then walk along the left side of a hedgerow in the forth field. At the end of this, look head but to the left slightly for an entrance path into the wood in front of you, and walk towards this. Head through the wood to emerge on the other side, and head left to find the gap in the boundary of the fields. Go through and turn slightly right, heading for the gate you should be able to see in the boundary straight ahead. Go through this and head for the boundary ahead, turning right when you reach it. Turn left through the boundary when you can, and then head to the left of the row of trees which is ahead of you. At the next boundary ahead, turn right and head into the wood following the path which eventually brings you out the other side and down on a clear path into the Hole of Horcum. Continue to follow the path and it leads back to where the paths split towards the start. Follow the path back towards the main road, and turn right to retrace your steps back to be bus stops near the car park.
