Cross Market Place and go down King Street to a roundabout near the
tourist information office. Turn left along Victoria Road until, near a corner
shop, you can leave the town, and climb steadily along a back road (West-
fields), which later runs on as a broad track, past High Leases and into
Whitcliffe Wood (page 117).
On leaving Whitcliffe Wood, the path passes beneath Whitcliffe Scar (Wil-
lance's Leap, page 117) and continues towards East Applegarth Farm. A
waymarked path keeps above the farm and runs on to the vicinity of High
Applegarth, Low Applegarth and soon the last of the farms, West Appleg-
arth, close by the edge of Applegarth Scar.
Parish church, Richmond
Take the broad access away from West Applegarth as far as a large
cairn, and here descend left to cross Clapgate Beck by a footbridge. Cross
the ensuing fields to rise gradually to a surfaced road leading left to the
village of Marske (page 115).
