Overview

From the start, head north-east to join the Roman Road, then over the stepping stones, past Hunt House and across the moor to just south of Goathland, where we will have lunch.

Then head south past Simon Howe to Wardle Green, then turning west through the forest back to the start point.

Anyone wishing to shorten the walk to six miles can turn west at Simon Howe onto the lyke Wake Walk, back to the stepping stones and return by the outward route.

The route is reasonably flat but with some undulations and a steep descent of 150 ft down to the stepping stones, which may be slippery if wet.
