Overview

The classic circular walk from Goldsborough through Ribston Hall Estate to Plompton Rocks (fleeting glimpse) then to Plumpton Hall. Returning through Birkham Wood with views down to the R Nidd then crossing an interesting bridge! Two thirds of the walk is on estate/farm lanes & tracks and the remainder on good bridleways & paths with one very short boggy section below Plumpton Hall.

Very gently undulating with only 375' ascent and no stiles! Livestock may be present.

** A658 needs to be crossed with extreme care in 2 places
