The climb to Leavening Brow starts just shy of 2km to the north of Birdsall. It starts more gradually and then ramps up once you have gone through Birdsall to the crossroads at the woods (The Aldro Plantation).

Turn right at the crossroads and make sure you stop to admire the view. On a good day you can see the Howardian Hills, the North York Moors and even the Pennines.
