On Carlton Moor
The onward trail from the summit of Carlton Moor picks a cautious way
down Carlton Bank, passing the edge of old alum quarries and large waste
heaps of burnt shale.
On reaching a rough track, keep forward down a path to meet a narrow
road. Cross the road and a stile to gain a green track going forward for
Cringle Moor, or turn right to Lord Stones Café (toilets and information
centre here), an unexpected and very welcome treat hidden beneath a
raised embankment.
(Perhaps the café should go by the name 'Lords' Stone', since such a
stone, known as the 'Three Lords' Stone', stands nearby on the former
parish boundary. It commemorates the lords of the time - Duncombe of
Helmsley (now Feversham), Marwood of Busby Hall, and Ailesbury, the lat-
ter at that time holding Scugdale.)
From the café, the path goes left to pass a small copse, and then crosses
to a broad green track heading for Cringle Moor.
Note
Before starting the ascent, the path forks, and the opportunity is
presented here to effect a gentler route to Clay Bank Top by branching
