Overview

Exploring the area under Sutton Bank this walk has wonderful views stretching (on a clear day) over to the Dales.

A mixture of good wide trails and footpaths we head out West from Felixkirk then circle round to the lovely village of Boltby where we have lunch. A trail through a forestry plantation leads us to Kirby Knowle from where we follow footpaths back to Felixkirk.

There are a few stiles on this walk, a couple of shallow (at the time of the recce) stream crossings and one short steep decent that maybe a little slippery so poles could be useful.

At the beginning there is a marshy patch which is narrow and needs crossing with care!

We did encounter cows but they ignored us.

Refreshments will be at the Carpenter Arms and need to be prebooked. They will put on a selection of scones and cakes for £6.95 per head - this does not include tea/coffee which can be ordered separately. 

Once you have booked onto the walk please let the walk leader know if you would like scones/cakes.
