Route: leaving the car parked by the Strickland Arms and running into the grounds of Sizergh Castle and left onto a grassy path cutting a corner of the drive to reach the carpark and exit on the clear straight gravel path ahead to reach a path sheltered in a narrow band of trees. Exiting this after a short high level back track through a gate to climb across two fields to reach a tarmac track to Heslsington Church. Turning left along a stony track, going straight ahead through a gate to descend a grassy path across parkland cutting a corner to the left before a large grove of trees to join another track briefly uphill and then down to the Sizergh Castle car park and back to the start.
Conditions: a sunny evening after a few days of rain.
Pub: the Strickland Arms, Sizergh for Pennine Pacific.
