Overview

Circular walk approx 7 miles. Assistance dogs only,

We walk through the village and cross the railway line near Cliff Rigg Quarry. We then climb through the trees and follow the path along the edge of the wood towards Roseberry Topping. At the time of the recce (7 May) the bluebells are in full bloom. Leaving the woods above Newton we contour round the north side of the hill to reach the top of Aireyholme Lane. We then follow the Cleveland Way climbing Little Roseberry and follow the CW north to Gribdale Gate. From here we descend on the path to Gribdale Terrace and then follow the road to the crossroads at Aireyholme Lane. We then follow the track via Fletchers Farm to Little Ayton and use field paths passing the cricket ground to return to the village.
