We are the Pocklington Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
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..
This walk is locally graded Moderate Plus as there is 1300ft of ascent. There are some very steep and rough descents where care is needed. On the recce some of the paths were found to be overgrown, with nettles (for those tempted to wear shorts). There is also the ever present risk of ticks.
No dogs except registered assistance dogs with the consent of the leader.
Please park on Main Street in Cropton, taking care to avoid causing obstructions to local residents.
