Overview

Starting from the village hall car park our route takes us north to Fox Folly Farm and beyond to High Kilburn where, on the village green, we can take a drinks' break.  Heading east and then north we reach Oldstead where we take the track through Great Cockerdale Wood.  Before reaching Cam House, the elevated track offers a suitable place for lunch with great views of the Vale of Mowbray in the distance. 

Following lunch we walk for a short while along field margins which bring us into Abbey Bank Woods and down to the outskirts of Wass where a familiar path leads us through an orchard to Byland Abbey. After a short walk along the road another familiar path across fields takes us towards Cams Farm and then south for our return to Coxwold.
