계곡에서 가파른 오르막

Known for its steep, but relatively short, ascent and descent sections, Cross Dale is part of the Levisham and Newton Dale walk, a popular circular route that offers diverse terrain and stunning views.

Rhumbard Snout is a scheduled monument, which includes the remains of a prehistoric field system, a medieval artificial rabbit warren known as a pillow mound and post-medieval mining test pits. It is located on the sloping southern tip of the wide, natural terrace which lies between the West Side Brow of Levisham Moor and Newton Dale to the west.

This walk through Cross Dale might be short, but the views are certainly stunning down (or up) the green slopes. Anyone who has walked the Yorkshire Wolds National Trail in East Yorkshire will probably be reminded of a number of places with similar scenery.

The Hole of Horcum is a 120m deep, 1.2km wide natural amphitheatre sunk into the valley of Levisham Beck. Legend has it that it was created by a giant grabbing a handful of earth to throw at his wife. It’s actually created by spring sapping - erosion of the bedrock by underground water which then causes collapse. This repeated process causes the hole.

The road through Troutsdale is glorious. If you are travelling from the north to south there is a fair amount of climbing and some of it steep, but it is worth it.
