We are the Midlife Hikers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

From the visitor centre we head steeply down through Garbutt Woods to the ancient Gormire Lake. From there we follow the base of the escarpment to the pretty Village of Boltby.
From Boltby we have a short but steep climb up to High Barn where we join the Cleveland Way. We follow the Cleveland Way back to the visitor centre, taking in the sweeping views over towards Nidderdale along the way. Heading back into the visitor centre we can enjoy 'The Finest View in Yorkshire'.
