main road, and head north towards Red House Farm, following a public
bridleway. Just after passing Red House Farm, turn right to Moor House
Farm, and pass the farmhouse to reach a gate on the right giving into a
field. Turn left along the field boundary (often very 'farmy') to a step-stile.
Over this, turn right through a gate and over another stile before heading
slightly left across a pasture to step-stiles either side of a sleeper bridge
spanning a stream.
Strike across the next field to another stile, and maintain the same dir-
ection in the ensuing field to locate another narrow footbridge over a field-
edge ditch. Cross the ensuing stile, and then follow the right-hand field
edge to a gap and a clear path running out to meet the Streetlam road,
not far from Brockholme Farm/Green Croft.
Turn right along the road for about 400m, and then leave it by branching
left onto a broad access track leading up High Brockholme. When the ac-
cess bears right to the farm, keep ahead and soon reach the edge of a
large pasture. Go down the right-hand edge of this. On the far side, go left
to a stile beside a gate. Cross the stile and turn left, to be confronted by a
wide gap in a hedgerow. Ignore this, and turn right up the field edge until
it reaches a gate giving into an enclosed track, lightly wooded with willow
scrub and often overgrown. In spite of the tangle, this is a lovely stretch,
finally reaching daylight again at the head of an arable field. Follow the
field edge left, and shortly swing right along one last field margin to reach
the road into Danby Wiske. Go left along the road to enter the village.
