LIMESTONE COUNTRY - A Northern Coast to Coast Walk: From St Bees to Robin Hood's Bay - page 57

Limekiln above Orton
Via Orton
Walk downfield towards Broadfell Farm, there reaching a metal gate.
Through this, keep to the right of the main farm buildings, passing through
two more gates into a pasture. Descend to the bottom right-hand corner.
Then, continue alongside a stream and wall to a gate in a wall corner be-
side a solitary beech tree. Beyond, the path continues and is soon rejoined
by the stream, and passes down a field edge. Keep going forward to a gate
giving on to a walled stony track on the northern edge of the village.
On reaching the first houses, go left to a road, and then right, walking
down to a T-junction beside a bridge. Now choose from the following.
Either (a) go left over the bridge and follow the on-going lane past
the Wesleyan Chapel (1833) to another T-junction, near a double-arched
bridge at the southern edge of the village, and turn left for Raisbeck.
Or (b) go right at the T-junction and walk out to the main village road
(the Church of All Saints lies directly ahead). Turn left and walk down into
the village (a right turn is soon necessary if you want to visit the village
tea room and the post office). Continue through the village to the turning
for Raisbeck on the left at the southern edge of the village.
Bypassing Orton
This more direct route will save 1.3km (¾ mile).
From the gate, go left across a low bridge spanning a stream gully, and
then continue alongside a wall to the farm access for Broadfell.
Follow the access out to Street Lane, a minor road serving a handful of
isolated farms. Go left up the lane to Scar Side Farm, then east to Friar
Biggins Farm, and, shortly, Scarside Farm. A short way further on, a gate
