This is a lovely short stretch between Gilling and Ampleforth Abbey: some pastures (lots of sheep, always nice), along The Holbeck (a stream) and eventually lovely views of the Ampleforth Abbey from above before descending to the Ampleforth College and Abbey grounds.

Warning! Take the second footbridge over The Holbeck. The first one appears to be on a waymarked local route, but if you cross over to the northern bank, you will come against an electrified fence in the field, and you cannot walk through that. Stay on the southern bank until you come across the second footbridge, and that is safe to follow.
