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

Come & enjoy a circular walk around Troutsdale. Taking in quiet forest tracks & paths, mixed woodland & open moor with delightful views of this lovely dale & surrounding area.
We will walk out along Troutsdale Brow towards Moor Road which will take us down to the bottom of the dale to cross a minor road before beginning our climb up the other side towards Backleys Farm with a coffee stop half way to enjoy the view & catch our breath!
Past the farm, following quiet forest tracks & paths we steadily make our way towards the Troutsdale Moor & The Pinnacle where we will enjoy a welcome lunch stop.
Refreshed, we'll cross & leave Troutsdale Moor behind us as we re-enter the forest walking past Steel Burrows in the direction of Broadhead Farm before dropping down to the Conservation area which is managed with the help of the Exmoor Ponies. Following the beck, we pass Keepers Cottage before we begin our final ascent, joining a short section of minor road back up to Cockmoor Hall car park.
If the weather is kind on the day, why not bring an extra flask & your favourite slice to enjoy together after the walk before your drive home.
please note: locally graded as moderate+ with an overall ascent of 1456ft. Advise your usual tick/insect precautions & boots as some tracks & the moor can be muddy. You may find poles useful.
No dogs except registered assistance dogs with the consent of the leader.
