Looking over Hood Hill Plantation to the west from the top of Sutton Bank

Being born in North Yorkshire and within walking distance of the Cleveland Hills
and North York Moors I had walked this fabulous county for many years. In fact, the very first hills I discovered were the Hambleton Hills and Cleveland Hills on the western side of the North York Moors, particularly in the area around Osmotherley. On these pages you will find walks and links to individual sections of North Yorkshire which is a tremendous place for walking in Great Britain. Keep visiting these pages for
reports of walks as more appear quite regularly in areas which includes the North York Moors,
the Nidderdale area of outstanding beauty, the lovely countryside belt of Harrogate and Ripon, the Howardian Hills and the Vale of York. (note - the Harrogate area is also comprehensively covered in the Leeds and Harrogate section and there are walks you will find here which also feature there. Also the Yorkshire Dales are predominately in North Yorkshire but they are afforded their own section which is linked to on the homepage and here too) |
