A 3.8-mile escarpment loop with 120 metres of ascent and about an hour and three quarters, running north along the cliff top past the Yorkshire Gliding Club before dropping back below the White Horse itself; the top path is level and firm, the return through the beech hangar is steep, rooty and slippery after rain. It starts at the White Horse car park on the Kilburn road below Sutton Bank, which is pay-and-display and has an ice cream van most summer afternoons but no other facilities. There is no water anywhere on the route so carry it, the woodland below the escarpment is fine for a dog off the lead, but the cliff edge is entirely unfenced with a hundred-metre drop, gliders are winch-launched close to the path, and the turf figure itself is fenced off to protect it.

Kilburn Woods and the White Horse

Off-lead allowed

A 6.3-mile circuit with 260 metres of ascent, close to three hours, climbing from the village through Kilburn Woods to the head of the White Horse and on along the escarpment past Roulston Scar; the wooded pull is steep and the stepped path beside the horse is loose underfoot. Start in Kilburn village, where there is free parking near the Forresters Arms, which avoids the busy pay-and-display at the White Horse itself. The woods are excellent for an off-lead run with shade and a beck, but the cliff edge above the horse is unfenced, the Yorkshire Gliding Club airfield sits right on the route with cables and landing aircraft, and leads are essential for both.
