Livestock — leads on

A five-mile moorland circuit from Saltergate car park on the A169 around the Devil's Punchbowl - a natural amphitheatre 400 feet deep and half a mile across - over Levisham Moor and back through the rocky ravine of Dundale Griff, with an optional diversion to Skelton Tower above Newton Dale. Sheep and cattle graze the whole route, so dogs stay on leads or close to heel throughout. Boggy in places after rain; a proper moorland leg-stretch.

Off-lead allowed Livestock — leads on

Eight miles and 360 metres of climbing in something under four hours, starting flat along the floor of Newton Dale beside the steam railway before a steep pull out of the dale to Levisham village. The obvious start is Levisham station car park, and the walk works beautifully as a train day out from Pickering or Grosmont on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. There is water in the beck all the way up the dale and long off-lead stretches through Levisham Wood, but sheep graze the dale sides and the moor edge, and the railway is live, so leads at every crossing.

Off-lead allowed Livestock — leads on

Eight miles with 240 metres of ascent and about three and a half hours, dropping to Levisham Beck before climbing onto Levisham Moor for the ruined shooting box at Skelton Tower above Newtondale and returning along the moor edge; the moor is heather and peat and wet underfoot, and the descent to the beck is steep and stepped. It starts at the top of Levisham village by the Horseshoe Inn, where the wide grass verge is the parking, and Levisham station on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway is a mile and a half down the hill for a car-free approach. Levisham Beck gives good deep water at the start and finish, the moor is broad open running country, but there is an unfenced drop of some fifty feet at Skelton Tower straight into Newtondale, and leads are required on the moor from 1 March to 31 July.
