We are the York Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
A varied walk with exceptional views of the moors and Easterside hill. We walk on varied terrain on moorland paths, through woodland and on forest tracks.
From the starting point at Newgate Bank car park, just off the B1257, about 5 miles north of Helmsley, we walk on a forest track giving good open views of Rievaulx moor. We then descend from Helmsley Bank to join a moorland path then woodland. We cross the road at Laskill then ascend to the lunch spot which gives good views of the route covered in the morning.
After lunch we walk south on a mixture of field paths, lanes and forest tracks before a final steepish ascent back to the cars
Assistance dogs only. There is additional parking in a layby just before the right turn into Newgate Bank car park. The leader will park here but the walk will start across the road in the car park.
The car park is on the right the layby is on the left of the road
