Overview

Join us on this lovely walk from Cropton, with forest trails, open moorland, pretty streams, fantastic views and attractive countryside. From Cropton we follow trails through Cropton Forest, before descending to Hartoft Bridge, and with a great lunch stop beside a stream. After a short climb to  the open moor, we take a southerly route to Lower Askew, then through woodland to Appleton Mill Farm and up to Bull Ing Lane and back to Cropton..
