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 Spaunton, then continues via a footpath down into 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 the footpath that runs North of Lastingham.
