Overview

 Leaving Sutton Bank Visitor Centre we follow the Cleveland Way before dropping down through the woods to Hood Grange. We then follow field paths and tracks past Gormire Lake to Midge Holm Gate where we start the slow climb back up to the Cleveland Way. Returning via Dialstone Farm and Hambleton House.

On a clear day there should be excellent views across the Vale of York from the top of Sutton Bank and then views across the North Yorkshire Moors on the return.
