Overview

A pleasant walk around  mixture of track, fields and an old railway line.  On leaving the car park there is a walk along the old Railway track until we reach the turnoff  to cut through to Stockeld Park.  We then walk  through Stockeld Park grounds  until we reach Spofforth.  We walk through  Spofforth to reach Crimple Beck  which we follow for a while.  This will lead us to the fields to Kirk Deighton.  We then return to the car park through Kirk Deighton.  Mainly good tracks but along the river  is a bit overgrown so poles may be helpful and fields/tracks  muddy in parts.  Some nice views on a clear day.
