THE NORTH YORK MOORS - A Northern Coast to Coast Walk: From St Bees to Robin Hood's Bay - page 135

The track ends at a gate at the edge of woodland. Go through the gate,
and the next one a few strides on, giving into the woodland. Now follow a
path sandwiched between a wall on the left and a wooded escarpment on
the right, soon reaching the summit of Beacon Hill, which marks the origin-
al starting point of the Lyke Wake Walk (page 145). Soon, the untidy iron-
mongery of Beacon Hill's radio station comes into view, with just enough
room to let the path squeeze by before it starts descending through the
delights of South Wood.
At the southern edge of the wood, the path emerges close by a gate.
Walkers bound for Osmotherley (page 143), should go left, through the gate.
The route now swings sharply to the right, continuing on a broad forest
trail, leaving behind the Cleveland Way, which has been our companion for
quite some time.
The forest trail continues pleasantly and uneventfully, soon branching
left at a junction and later passing the entrance to Park House. The
route undulates a little, and the woodland here seems well populated with
pheasant at certain times of the year. Beyond Park House a distinct branch
goes left, leaving the forest to follow a fenced track to a gate giving onto
a quiet back road at the rear of Arncliffe Hall (page 142) and the parish
church (page 142).
Follow the road, right, curving past the hall and church, to run to meet
the A172. Cross the road and continue ahead to reach Ingleby Cross.
