Sutton Bank, White Horse of Kilburn and Gormire Lake - Sunday 9th May

Much of this walk is visible from the viewpoint by the start of the walk, at the top of Sutton Bank. To the left, the way runs above the almost vertical cliffs of Roulston Scar, beyond which, but as yet hidden, lies the White Horse of Kilburn. Spread below are the Hood Hill plantations and tree-fringed waters of Gormire Lake.

The return is along the Cleveland Way, winding at the edge of a precipice above Whitestone Cliff and Sutton Brow, which form a dramatic boundary to the rolling Hambleton Hills that stretch away behind. In the woodland beneath the cliffs and by the lake we may well see squirrels and perhaps even deer, while the views from the escarpment are outstanding, and amply reward the climb to its airy heights.
