The Station Richmond, North Yorkshire, DL10 4LD
Friday 25th September 2026

Our walk starts at Ingleby Cross, where the Coast to Coast Trail leaves the plain of the Vale of York and starts to climb into the North York Moors. Here the trail and the Cleveland Way coincide for a time along the edge of the moor, and we have some great views, both to the north towards Teesside, and south into the Moors. Our walk takes in the scenic setting of Cod Beck Reservoir and the wooded path around it, and also the interesting Lady Chapel near Osmotherly. This is a varied walk on good paths and tracks, but there are plenty of ups and downs, and an overall 1,300 feet of ascent during the day.
