Explorer Map OL26 - North York Moors (Western
Area)
This is a "there-and-back" walk using field
footpaths. It is possible to vary things slightly by returning from
Carlton in Cleveland by the road to Faceby.
Also, there is an alternative footpath from Faceby to Whorlton, though
in the past this was found to be slippery with mud in wet weather.
The footpath from Whorlton to Faceby can be somewhat overgrown with
bracken and other vegetation.
The footpath between Faceby and Carlton in Cleveland is an easy-to-follow
field footpath.
