Setting out from the coach park we will walk on a roadside footpath in a southerly direction before turning towards Bewerley with a climb up to the village.

After descending on another quieter road, without footpaths, heading west we join an uphill section across fields then down towards Fishpond Wood, with another short climb before descending along a further quiet road.

Leaving this road near to Skrikes Farm we face a stiff climb ending at Yorke's Folly.

From Yorke's Folly we walk on a reasonably level path along Guise Cliff before turning northwards for a descent, steep in parts, through Guisecliff Wood.

On reaching Glasshouses we return to Bewerley on roads without footpaths, but not too busy. From Bewerley we will retrace our steps to the coach park.

The off-road sections have the potential to be slippery in places in the case of wet weather and contain areas of well rounded large stones. Close attention needs to be taken in foot placement and walking poles may be an asset.

No dogs apart from registered assistance dogs with the consent of the leader.
