Overview

Starting at the Blacksmiths Arms we head past the church and Whorlton Castle. We go up to enter Faceby Plantation and join the Cleveland Way. We leave this to head through the woods to join a track above Ingleby Arncliffe following it to Back Lane and returning to the Blacksmiths Arms where we will have tea.
inevitably in January there will be mud - sticks advised.
