Gezilecek yerler ve turistik noktalar Over Silton - Top 20

This is where I realised wearing new boots for a hike this long was a BAD idea!

Stayed at one of the local pubs, was good but their internet connection was non-existent, had to pay for a 24hr hotspot with EE

cracking view across the reservoir

Easy parking (ice cream van in summer!) at Sheep Wash, great path through the coniferous wood running along the southern edge of the reservoir, awesome views, cool breeze across the water, option to follow numerous tracks east into the woods around Cote Garth and Golden Square. Lots of familys, dog walkers and hikers - something for everyone here.

Quintessential North Yorkshire village, very picturesque with good amenities and access points to the northwest of the NYM National Park. However, can be very congested with cars so parking is difficult. Drive north and park at Cod Beck Reservoir, then add Osmotherley to your hiking route. Lots of roads and public footpaths to choose from.

If Cringle End is your destination, approach from Lordstones Country Park to the west, the gradient is more forgiving and the path is relatively straight. If you crest Cringle Moor from the east you will find the ascent comprises vicious sections of very twisty stone path with much steeper gradient, according to the elevation profile on Komoot, up to and over 33%. Quite punishing if you already have already covered a lot of miles and ascent.

More spectacular views. The approach from the west is easier with a more gentle incline than the approach from the east, which involves a series of twisting turning steep steps, good safe footing but hard going both up and down.

Nice stop on an arduous Boltby loop, Ted the dog is the best host!
