8.0 miles
Outdoor Leisure Map OL26, - North York Moors (Western
Area)
This is a very straightforward walk with no significant
gradients and there is little need fo even to follow a map.
The walk principally uses the Guisborough Forest walkway, starting from
the Guisborough Forest walkway Visitor centre at Pinchinthorpe. The
walk continues past Guisborough centre to end at the old railway viaduct
at Slapewath.
The return journey is simply a return along the same route.
Start from the Guisborough Forest and Walkway Visitor Centre
at Pinchinthorpe (NZ58414 15265).
Follow the track Eastwards towards Home Farm and Hutton Village.
When you reach the minor road, turn left and after about 400 yards take
the signposted footpath on your right.
When you reach the road, turn right and almost immediately find the old
railway station platforms of Hutton Gate Station.
Now follow the old railway trackbed for the next 2 - 3 miles until you
come to the old railway viaduct at Slapewath.
Return the way you came.
