From the carpark, we walk through Ruswarp village, then up the track to Lambert Hill (the footpath is impassable!). Field paths and quiet roads take us to Briggswath, where a footbridge coducts us over the River Esk to Sleights station. A section of the Esk Valley Walk is followed past Echo Hill to Hagg House, then east and north to Sneaton village. We will have our break at Beacon Farm, where ice creams and other refreshments may be purchased. We then walk N along the Monk's Trod, past Crowdy Hall and on to the Viaduct over the Esk, after which the Esk Valley Walk is followed back to Ruswarp.
