10.2 miles
Explorer Map OL26, - North York Moors (Western Area)
A year round walk, starting in the plantation of Silton Forest
then following the Hambleton Street track (part of the Cleveland
Way), before decsending to Cowesby and Kepwick.
Navigation is very straightforward.
There is a modest ascent up to the Hambleton Street track, and
a fairly steep path down to Cowesby and Kepwick.
However, there is nothing to prevent an enjoyable day out rambling
in some superb countryside.
