The Grey Panthers

A very pleasant walk mostly using country lanes, though with some use of quiet roads.
The walk starts in Hutton-le-Hole which is a popular village with tourists, on account of both being "quaint" and also on account of the Ryedale Folk Museum.
From Hutton-le-Hole the route follows country lanes to Appleton-le-Moors.
From Appleton-le-Moors the route follows Hamey Lane and Howldale Lane (quiet country roads) before the field footpath to Lastingham.
The main attraction in Lastingham is the 11th Century Church, though the village has other interests worth seeing.
The return from Lastingham to Hutton-le-Hole follows firstly another quiet country road, before the field footpath that brings you back to Hutton-le-Hole.
