Overview

A seven and a half mile walk from Lord Stones Country Park, over Carlton Bank, Wath Hill and Cringle Moor, with a total of 500 metres of ascent and descent and just a couple of stiles. The walk starts by following the Cleveland Way over Carlton Bank and on towards Gold Hill, before dropping down on a faint path through the heather to follow the track around the head of Snotterdale. Tracks will be followed towards Brian's Pond, before descending into Raisdale, mainly on a small moorland path. After ascending and descending Wath Hill through fields and crossing the minor road, the route passes through the grounds of High Clay House and then along a good track through the Cringle Moor Plantation, before returning to Lord Stones Cafe on the Cleveland Way via Cringle Moor. Note that there will be the option to miss the third 'peak' and to decrease the amount of ascent and descent by roughly 100 metres, by instead taking the path that traverses the North side of Cringle Moor. Refreshments afterwards at Lord Stones Cafe.
