Overview

 Leaving the visitor centre we head out of Studley Park via the seven bridges. We then have a long gradual pull up to How Hill, where hopefully we will be able to enjoy the 360 degree views whilst eating lunch. Excellent views of Fountains Hall and Fountains Abbey on our return. Mostly good paths and lanes, one muddy farm. No stiles
