The Route what3words for start point: ///rift.firelight.successor Start Point: Pickering Train Station Finish Point: Pickering Town Centre Distance: 8 Miles GPX Route Map steamtrainfrompickeringDownload Walk Description Start by taking the steam train to Levisham from Pickering. Always take the train (or bus) first on one way walks to avoid any stress and time constraints on your return. From Levisham station a steep climb takes you to the attractive village of Levisham. From here the walk is (nearly) all downhill as it follows the valley south through Levisham Woods to Farwath meeting Pickering Beck. From here forest tracks follow the river for 4 miles on the return to Pickering. The sound of steam trains passing is just one of the many pleasant experiences on this walk.
Walk: Fox and Rabbit to Pickering Walk
Fox and Rabbit to Pickering Walk is a 9.2 kilometer point-to-point trail located near Pickering, North Yorkshire, England that features a river and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, running, and nature trips. The Route what3words for start point: ///reference.inserting.retrieves Start Point: Pickering Finish Point: Fox and Rabbit, Lockton Distance: 6 Miles GPX Route Map foxandrabbittopickeringwalkDownload Walk Description A linear walk from the village of Lockton (home to the Fox and Rabbit Inn) to the market town of Pickering in Ryedale. Begin by catching the bus from Pickering to Lockton where you can enjoy lunch before beginning the linear walk back into town. Along the way you will enjoy the hillside pastures of Cross Dale, the haunting woodland of Haugh Wood and an idyllic stretch of the river, Pickering Beck. The walk has several climbs and descents throughout, including a couple of steep sections near the start. The sections of paths through woodland and pasture can be very muddy, slippery and rutted at times so good boots are a must (or wellingtons with grips in the winter months). You will need to negotiate several wide field gates, a couple of kissing gates, a few footbridges, one stone wall stile and one fence stile. (The wall stile is well built and should be easy for dogs to cross and the fence stile has a field gate alongside which is often unlocked. Even if this gate is locked, there is a gap beneath the gate that most dogs should be able to squeeze through). Many of the fields will be holding sheep and at least one field is used to graze cattle at times so take particular care with dogs. You will need to cross the railway twice, both at unsignalled crossing points so take great care to look and listen for trains before you proceed at these points. Allow 3 hours. There are public toilets in The Ropery car park (close to Pickering Market Place) and also in Eastgate car park (near the Pickering bus stop). If you are looking for refreshments, the Fox and Rabbit Inn at Lockton is at the start of the walk, you will find Lowther Place Tea Gardens in Newbridge (just after waypoint 3) and there are plenty of pubs and cafes centred around the Market Place in Pickering at the end of the walk. OS Map: Explorer OL27 North York Moors Eastern Area. This walk follows public footpaths and bridleways which cross private and public land. Please respect people's privacy, keep dogs under control and remember the Countryside Code.

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.
Walk: Cropton Forest
An exhilarating hike into Cropton Forest, in the North York Moors. The Route what3words for start point: ///drooling.napped.narrow Start Point: Off road parking along Rawcliff Road, Newton-on-Rawcliffe, YO18 8QA Finish Point: Rawcliff Road, Newton-on-Rawcliffe Distance: 6 Miles GPX Route Map walkshirecroptonforestDownload Walk Description From where you have parked, walk towards the north end of Newton-on-Rawcliffe. Just after the National Speed Limit signs, take the track leaving the road to the right, and then the track immediately to the right. After you’ve walked past a field on the left, take the footpath on the left, to walk between two distinct woods. Once through the line of trees, turn left and follow the clear path on the ground, through some trees and into the forest. Cross Green Raygate Spring and follow the path as it becomes a track and meets up with Newtondale Forest Drive. Turn left, and follow the Forest Drive. Walk past a building on the right, then the road turns right. After the next building on the left, turn left. Just after this road has turned to the right, find the footpath on the right, and head through the wood and out into a clearing. Walk to the right of the houses, and join the track - turning right to follow it into the forest again. Once in the forest, turn right at the next junction of tracks, climbing steadily as you go. The track turns to the left, but the walk continues on the footpath straight ahead. Keep on this long straight path until you reach another track. Turn right here, crossing over Scarfhill Beck straight away. Ignore the track immediately to the right, and turn left, to have open fields on both sides for a short while. At Heads Road, turn right and walk along the road, taking care, following it as it turns left then right again. Take the footpath on your right, just opposite a track on the left. This heads through the forest and emerges into a clearing. Follow the line on the ground to enter the forest again, crossing Sole Beck. The path hairpins to the right and then meets up with Newtondale Forest Drive, which itself hairpins around Raper’s Farm. Continue on the Forest Drive, past Oak Tree Cottage, and turn left to follow the footpath sign into the trees. Cross the track, go between two building and follow the path into the forest, eventually meeting up with Newtondale Forest Drive again. Turn left, and continue along the Forest Drive, past the point where you turned left earlier. Continue, and after passing the cottage on the left, look for the track on the right where you emerged from the forest towards the start of the walk. Take this track, and retrace your steps back to Newton-on-Rawcliffe and to where you parked. Make a stay of it: https://www.yorkshire.com/accommodation/host-stay-beck-house-cottages/
