Farm track and bridleway off Bank Lane

This track, which is also bridleway number 10.56/2, runs along the bottom of the Cleveland Hills scarp linking a number of farms and other residences.

The start of the climb The tarmacked section of Bank Lane ends here and the route continues as a bridleway, climbing 150m up a steep hill to the gap between Cold Moor and Hasty Bank. The notice to the left, which is dates July 2021, warns of a path closure higher up the hillside due to a landslip, but one can go so far and then use forest tracks to avoid the obstacle. This is bridleway number 10.56/1.

Beck House A typical Cleveland farmhouse of sandstone with a pantile roof. On this occasion further progress along the narrow lane was halted a few hundred metres further on where a large truck, of the sort that might be carrying animal feed, was at a crazy angle, having gone off the road into soft ground. No option but to make a rather long reverse.

Field path towards Bonnie Hill Farm One might reasonably ask &#039;what footpath?&#039;, but the line of it is through this recently planted crop field, so walkers might expect plenty of mud adhering to boots.

Footbridge and ford, Ingleby Greenhow The bridge is of the concrete beam type which seem to have been a popular style in the old North Riding some 60 years ago. Ingleby Beck flows beneath the bridge and across the adjoining ford. The footpath leads directly into the churchyard.

New plantation near How Hill This is not far from a photo taken by T Eyre in July 2020, but since then there&#039;s been extensive planting of deciduous trees in the area. Government grants currently mean that saplings of the right sort are provided free of charge. In the background is Hasty Bank with the northern prow of Cold Moor beyond.
