The route starts with a short walk out of Helmsley and into Ash Dale. There is deceivingly steady climb along the Tabular Hills Walk until we emerge from the woods onto a track. Continuing along the Tabular Hills Walk up the road then back into the woods, we turn off into Riccal Dale down a steep hill. The next section is relatively flat until we head back up another steep hill for our final stretch back into Helmsley.

 🅿️ Cleveland Way pay & display car park (£6 all day)
 🚻 Toilets in the car park at the start of the walk
 🥪 You'll need to bring a packed lunch or allow time to buy something in Helmsley
 🍺🍰🍦 There's pubs, cafés and an ice cream parlour, plenty of choice for a post walk snack!
