Overview

From Downholme we follow a permissive path along MOD land to Hudswell. We continue through Calfhall & Hudswell woods descending to cross a footbridge over the River Swale. We cross the A6108 and continue on to Lowethwaite Farm and continue on to Low Applegarth where we meet the Coast to Coast which we follow to Marske. We leave Marske via Cat Bank and continue on a footpath down to the River Swale at Downholme Bridge. We briefly walk along the A6108 and then the B6270 where we turn left to Downholme Church. We then cross the A6108 again and continue on a footpath back to Downholme.
