Overview

See the North Yorkshire Moors at their finest, carpeted with a vibrant pink and purple heather. From the Hole of Horcum car park, we head east to the other-worldly rocky outcrops of the Bridestones, and then to the pretty villages of Lockton and Levisham. We return by way of the ruins of Skelton Tower, where we might catch a glimpse of the steam railway 🚂, and then around the edge of the magnificent bowl of the Hole of Horcum itself.

After the walk, we will head to a nearby pub for a drink 🍻
