A circular walk from Lockton, visiting Newton -on-Rawcliffe, Levisham Station, Skelton Tower and Levisham village before returning to Lockton.

Meet at the very lovely Lockton Tea Rooms & Gallery. Open from 10.00am.
Walking at 10.30.

Our exploration of Newton Dale begins with a walk down into the dale at Farwath. Crossing the tracks of the North York Moors Railway, there's a gentle climb up to Newton on Rawcliffe.

A short break here, with time to visit the White Swan if you wish.

Returning to Newton Dale, our route takes us past Levisham Station before crossing the moor to Skelton Tower, the remote hunting lodge/retreat/man cave built for the local vicar.

The return to Lockton is via Levisham village.

Après walk. The Horseshoe Inn, Levisham.

Dogs? OK but under strict control.

Should I go? Virtually all of the walk could be described as 'off the beaten track'. Lockton and Levisham are villages on the longest cul-de -sac, Newton on Rawcliffe is perhaps the most isolated village on the moor, Newton Dale is the least accessible of the dales and Levisham station is remote from the remote village that it serves. It’s worth a look !

Is it a difficult walk? There is a couple of tiring climbs and it is close to 11 miles. But nothing too drastic.

The days are getting shorter. This walk can also be shortened if we are running short of daylight.

Guests. Sorry, no. Ask your guest to join the group.
