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.

Peaceful and isolated bridleway running down the Low Gill valley from Old Byland towards Ashberry Hill and Rievaulx.

This dale is not in this location.

The small Jeffry Bog Nature Reserve is managed by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust. You can find here wildflowers, including orchids, bogbean and betony. I's quite tranquil here in Kirkham Gorge. And, in addition, if you are patient, you can do some amazing trainspotting: on the opposite bank of River Derwent, the Malton to York train line runs; wait long enough and a train will appear in this amazing setting!

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.
