Overview

Join the Ryedale Ramblers for a linear ramble from the Hole of Horcum to Pickering

.

 

We begin by meeting at The Royal Oak Bus Stop (SE Bound) on Eastgate Pickering to catch the 10:46 Coastliner Bus to Whitby as far as the Hole of Horcum car park.

 

On alighting from the bus, we begin by walking along the Tabular Hills Walk, turn down into the Hole of Horcum passing Low Horcum and on to turn West then walk above Dundale Griff up to Dundale Pond.  The route then follows Braygate Lane into Levisham to rejoin the Tabular Hills Walk.  Leaving Levisham we follow the Tabular Hills Walk to Farwath, cross the NYMR tracks and leave the Tabular Hills Walk to walk up hill to High Blansby.  Passing Blansby Park and West Farms we descend to Park Gate, then continue through Newbridge to return to Pickering.
