Northallerton Station to Yarm Station
A long, demanding rural route through fields, woods and quiet villages, starting well on footpaths to Brompton but becoming very tricky from Ings Beck onward, with no clear paths across hayfields and waist-high grass. Poorly maintained throughout, with blocked or missing stiles, locked gates and overgrown footbridges and ditch crossings. Sections through villages and on lanes are pleasant. Coincides with the Coast to Coast path in places, which provides a clearer alternative around some obstacles.
Tough: 24km. Gentle ascents.
Much of the route is poorly maintained, with blocked or missing stiles, locked or overgrown gates, slurry heaps across the path, waist-high nettles and grass, and unbridged ditches to scramble across; signage is very poor with few finger posts or waymarkers, so careful navigation is essential. Sturdy clothing is advisable.
