Hawnby Hill – Easy Walk

This short walk is ideal for combining a pub lunch with a short walk afterwards. Starting the walk at the Inn at Hawnby and completing a circular route around Hawnby Hill, this walk should take about an hour to complete.

Getting There 

Follow the A19 south from Middlesbrough and look for the Thirsk turn off. Follow the road to Sutton Bank but shortly after you take this turning look for a left turning signed to Boltby. Following this road which is an enjoyable route with plenty of twists and turns and hills, you will pass through a few villages and eventually reach Hawnby. Parking can be found at the top end of Hawnby in the car park at the Inn at Hawnby. Parking here is for patrons only, a great excuse to have a drink and a bite to eat before commencing your walk!

 

Route of the Hawnby Hill walk

 

Starting the walk from the Inn at Hawnby follow the road west to the left of the Inn until you reach Manor Farm. Look for a gate to the right opposite the farm.

Go through the gate and follow the well worn track, which will give you brilliant views as you are following the track.

 

The track will take you through some fields and eventually you will come across Hill End House. Look for a signpost to Moorgate which will take you around the circumference of Hawnby Hill which will be directly to your right.

 

Take the right track which goes uphill to find Hawnby Hill to your right.

If you are feeling up to it you can climb to the top of the hill for some great views. Otherwise follow the track around the bottom of the hill until you reach the road below.

Follow the road to the right and this will take you back to Hawnby and the Inn at Hawnby where you started the walk.
