This is a gently undulating ‘there and back’ linear route along a quiet minor road parallel to the River Tees.

1.1 Head due south out of the town to cross the River Tees on the B6276 (signposted: Brough, Scotch Corner and Mickleton, Romaldkirk, Cotherstone) - take care on this first section. 1.2 TL at first obvious bend (SP: Holwick), continue to end of minor road to start of track to Hield House Farm. 1.3 Return back the same way - this is not a circuit! NB: It is illegal to cycle on footpaths.
