Why you should do this walk…

A 2.5 mile (4km) there and back walk from the village of Terrington in North Yorkshire. This simple route allows you to experience the tranquillity and far-reaching views of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, without venturing too far from civilisation. This walk is part of the Howardian Hills Easy Countryside Trails collection, published through a collaboration between iFootpath and the Howardian Hills AONB Partnership, with the aim of providing countryside access for all in the Howardian Hills.

Dog friendly?…

The walk is generally flat with only a few gentle or moderate gradients, and can be lengthened or shortened to meet your own requirements. All the paths are wide vehicle tracks and there are no stiles, gates or steps on route. The lane is a no through road, so is usually very quiet, but do take care of occasional cars. The first 0.8 mile stretch (up to Waypoint 2: Blind Summit) is on a tarmac lane with an estimated maximum gradient of 1:16 or 6%. By following this shorter version of the walk (1.6 miles, there and back), the route would be suitable for most wheelchairs and pushchairs. The remainder of the full route follows a broken tarmac and compacted stone track (which can have some shallow surface mud and some pot holes) with an estimated maximum gradient of 1:8 or 12.5%. This full route would be suitable for rugged pushchairs and rugged disability buggies for most of the year. Breakfree Surface and Slope Ratings A2 (shorter version) and B4 (full version).
