Overview

We start this walk from the Car Park just off the A169 (Pickering to Whitby Road) by walking down Whinstone Ridge (crossing the A169). We turn north east through Newton House Plantation, pass the waterfalls to Old May Beck. We then follow May Beck to Midge Hall and Falling Foss Waterfall. We then continue North through Great Wood and Scarry Wood to Littlebeck. At Littlebeck we cross the Footbridge and climb up the road towards High Quebec Farm, where we head north and then west over the moors back to Whinstone Ridge, where we retrace our steps back to the Car Park
