From Beacon Hill, the route goes NW along the road for 0.4ml, then takes moorland tracks W and NW to Clitherbeck Farm, where the Pannierman's Causeway is taken. We follow this SW and pick up a field path into Danby Village.
A track on the moorland edge takes us to Danby Lodge National Park Centre (toilets).The Esk Valley Walk is then followed on to the high level road to Houlsyke. A field path and then a moorland track returns us to the Beacon.
There will be a ten minute break. Please feel free to bring a drink/snack to enjoy.
