This 9.9-mile (15.9 km) route, which typically takes around 4 hours and 18 minutes, guides you through rolling hills and extensive woodlands. You will gain about 748 feet (228 metres) in elevation as you traverse a mix of field paths and quiet lanes. Enjoy serene views across Oulston Reservoir, surrounded by a peaceful, wild atmosphere.
Starting your journey from Newburgh Fish Pond, this moderate loop is generally accessible, featuring paths suitable for various skill levels. While the route is mostly easy to follow, it does require good fitness and sure-footedness in places. Plan for a comfortable pace to fully appreciate the varied terrain and natural beauty.
