Overview

 A circular walk heading out through Studley Park, followed by a steady pull up to How Hill with its 360 degree views, to enjoy whilst eating lunch.  On a clear day most of the walk will have far reaching views plus an excellent view over Fountains Abbey on the return leg. Mostly good paths and lanes. No stiles
