There are great views from Slingsby Bank to the north towards North York Moors. Here, the long-distance trail Centenary Way crosses the road linking Coneysthorpe and Slingsby here.

You might want to be careful walking on the road here: the road, the avenue out of the Castle Howard grounds, is almost completely straight, meaning cars can be very fast.

Hiking

This highlight lies on a great woodland route to follow that lasts miles if you start way west at Wath Wood just south of Hovingham, runs all the way east through Fryton West Wood, Fryton East Wood, Slingsby Banks Wood and Coneysthorpe Banks Wood, part of which is the Centenary Way. Useful off-road parking area here with room for around 5-6 cars. Great views north across Rye Dale and the Vale of Pickering, and large areas of the woods are blanketed with bluebells in spring. The route is a bit muddy in parts, but easy hiking.
