Danby · 1 checked & stamped
Boots on. These are the Danby walks worth the drive, with lead rules and livestock warnings marked.
A 7.7-mile moorland round with a modest 150 metres of ascent, about three and a half hours, on heather paths and boardwalks laid over the wettest ground, with wide views down to Scaling Dam reservoir and out to the sea. Start from the Moors National Park Centre at Danby, which has a large car park, a cafe and toilets, and sits a few minutes from Danby station on the Esk Valley line. Clitherbeck and the reservoir outflow give water, and the walk is quiet enough for a good stretch off the lead, but this is grouse moor grazed by free-roaming sheep and leads are required from 1 March to 31 July for ground-nesting birds.
