Overview

From Swainby village we head round Whorlton Hill before heading up to join the Cleveland Way at Live Moor Plantation. We follow this to the edge of Mount Grace Wood before heading down below Arncliffe Wood to Scarth Wood Farm and back to Swainby.

Mainly good tracks but always the chance of mud!
