15b. A Summer Walk in Kirk Dale

See also 15a. A spring/autumn walk from St Gregory Minster in Kirkdale

Kirkdale

The fields stretching south down to the A170 Helmsley road

You can park on the side of Green Lane south-east of Sleightholme Dale Lodge (fantastic gardens) - in fact this is the road to Sleightholme Dale Lodge. You walk north-east back up Green Lane, turn right south and at Woolah turn left across the fields to Hagg Wood.

 

Kirkdale

Then head south for Robin Hood's Howl.

 

Kirkdale

The footpath through the narrow wooded limestone valley of Robin Hood's Howl.

 

Kirkdale

Looking south to the crossroads north of Howkeld House.

 

Kirkdale

Looking back to Robin Hood's Howl.

 

Kirkdale

At the cross-roads turn right to head for the Kirkdale Caves and St Gregory Minster.

 

Kirkdale

St Gregory's Minster, Kirkdale

 

Kirkdale

To the left of St Gregory's Minster head north, keeping close, but always to the east of Hodge Beck.

 

Kirkdale

A rather dry river bed near the Minster, but evidence of the fotbridge being swept away in the past!

 

Kirkdale

Eventually, from the track north, you come out just south of Sleightholme Dale Lodge (fantastic gardens), do a clockwise U turn up the road and swing round to the left back into Green Lane.
