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 leaves the walkway to head into the centre of Guisborough and the
Church of St. Nicholas.
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 mile or so, until you
come to the bridge over the road (Belmangate).
There are steps down from the bridge to the road.
Follow the road Northwards and cross the main road at the cotrolled crossing.
Now head up Bow Street to the town centre, and St. Nicholas' Church on
your right.
Return the way you came in.
