Eight and three quarter miles with 270 metres of ascent and about four hours, crossing Commondale Moor to the oak woods of Danby Park and returning by the Esk and the moor track above the village; the moor crossing is peat and rush and holds water well into June, while the woodland paths are firm. It starts by the Cleveland Inn at Commondale, where roadside parking is limited to a few spaces but Commondale station on the Esk Valley line is a request stop right in the village. Commondale Beck and the Esk both give good water and the moor is wide open ground for a strong dog, but sheep range loose across the whole moor and the beck-side fields, and this is important nesting habitat, so leads on the open moor from 1 March to 31 July.

Off-lead allowed Livestock — leads on

A big 11.4-mile day, 270 metres of ascent and around five hours, crossing Commondale Moor on the flagged Quakers' Causeway before dropping into the conifers of Guisborough Forest and climbing to the crag of Highcliff Nab. Start in Commondale village, which has limited roadside parking and its own request stop on the Esk Valley line, so the train is the tidier option. The forest tracks are ideal for running a dog loose and there are becks to drink from, but the moorland half is grouse ground with loose sheep, leads are required there from 1 March to 31 July, and Highcliff Nab has an unfenced drop.
