Overview

This is a leisurely walk along tracks and paths through woodland, moorland and fields. To begin with we follow a track from Boltby up to woodlands and then skirt around Southwoods Hall and descend on to a track to Southwoods Lodge. From there we take a quiet road to Thirlby and return to Boltby alongside  Gurtof Beck across fields via the old farm of Tang Hall.

Wild flowers galore hopefully and superb views across the Vale of Mowbray. It was very muddy on the way back to Boltby when Mary and I did the walk but, fingers crossed, it has now dried up
