Overview

From the Hotel we go down to West Beck and an option to see the waterfall but it does involve a bit of clambering over some boulders. We then head Beck Hole to pick up the Grosmont Rail Trail to Grosmont. There is now a short climb up the road to take the path through Crag Cliffe Wood. We cross over the railway line and another short climb to the centre of Goathland. We take the track opposite Scripts Garage then the footpath back to the start
