Overview

The walk starts from Lockton Cemetery, where there is free parking, and walk heads on a path NNE towards the main A169. We walk a very short time beside the road, before heading NW towards Warren Farm, Rabbit Slack, First Rigg and Cross Dyke. We then head North to Low Horcum, into the Hole of Horcum. We then climb back up to the A169, turn the corner and cross the road before heading  SE to Newgate Foot following the Tabular Hills Walk  and then turning  south to the Bridestones Nature Reserve.  We turn East and then south past Needle Point, down Dove Dale to Low Staindale. Finally we pass Low Pasture Farm  and Low Pasture Villa Farm back to the A169 and across the road , back to the start
