We are the Northallerton Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Starting in the car park at Mount Grace Priory, we ascend through Mount Grace Wood, crossing then joining the Cleveland Way, before reaching the high point of the walk, descending to Cod Beck Reservoir and walking along the eastern side to the Sheep Wash. We walk back though the woods along Green Lane and make our way to Chequers, descending to Oak Dale to pick up the Cleveland Way again to Osmotherley, then back to Mount Grace passing Westlands Farm. Some stiles to be negotiated, and some muddy sections, weather dependent of course. Sticks would probably be advisable as some sections may be slippery if wet.
Booking essential at https://www.northallertonramblers.org.uk/walking/walks-programme.html
No dogs
There is a charge of £3.50 for parking, free to English Heritage members. The payment meter at the car park wasn't working on the date of the recce. Payment has to made at the Priory which doesn't open until 10am, meaning having a later start than would be ideal, as we have to get back to the cafe for around 3pm. Following discussions with the EH staff, if the meter is still o/o/s on the day, we are hoping to arrange to pay car park fees at the end of the walk, so we can start at 09:45 (TBC). Although the priory doesn't open until 10am, the car park should be open from around 9am. Refreshments afterwards in the cafe - please contact the walk leader after booking if you would like a cream tea reserving (£6.95 at the time of writing).
