Overview

The village of Osmotherley on the western edge of the North York Moors has long been associated with walking. Back in the 1800s, it was a popular overnight stopover for Scottish cattlemen as they moved herds southwards along the Hambleton Drove Road.  Today that same ancient drovers’ route is popular with walkers as they follow one of three long distance trails which pass through the village, the Cleveland Way, Coast to Coast and Lyke Wake Walk.

Today's circular walk heads up to Square Corner and then north over Whorlton Moor and across to Scarth.  We return to Osmotherley via Cod Beck.
