Drawn by us from the recorded track, over road and path data from OpenStreetMap. It shows you where the walk goes and what it goes through — it is not a substitute for a proper map. Carry OS Explorer on the hill.

A level wooden boardwalk running beside the River Derwent through ancient broadleaved woodland, thick with wild garlic and wood anemone in spring — the valley is a National Nature Reserve. Two easy miles from the Old Man's Mouth car park on the East Ayton to Hackness road, with seats and viewing spots along the way.

THE SMALL PRINTHelp prevent disturbance to the wildlife, including river wildlife, by keeping your dog under control at all times.
