Hutton Lowcross Trail, Guisborough Forest

The longest of the three waymarked loops from Pinchinthorpe visitor centre, 3.7 miles on white markers and about two and a half hours. It runs east along the foot of the escarpment towards Hutton Village, climbs to the Hanging Stone, where a short detour opens the view over Teesside and the coast, and comes back past the Blue Lake, an old forestry water store. The route mixes plantation with working farmland, so leads go on at the field gates, and there is a steady steep pitch on forest road in each direction. There is no seasonal restriction here.
