This is a beautiful and green walk through these two woodlands: Freer's Banks and Waite Wood. Splendid views to be had from the edge of Waite Wood, near Baxton Howe Hill, to the north: the distant views of North York Moors are amazing.

Hiking

Very easy tracks in the woods on Freer's Banks, with occasional glimpses north across the landscape to Fryton and Slingsby Bank Woods. There is a very small off-road parking area just off the road to Terrington at South Bell Bottom, but there is limited space.
