Ampleforth‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪19‬개의 천연기념물

멋진 전망을 갖춘 다양한 하이킹입니다. White Horse까지 가파른 오르막 때문에 힘듭니다. 반드시 마지막 오른쪽 꺾기(울타리를 넘어야 함)를 피하고 대신 계속 직진하세요. 짖는 경비견이 '길' 내내 당신을 따라다닐 뿐만 아니라, 길은 대부분 엉겅퀴와 거대한 쐐기풀로 완전히 뒤덮여 있고 두 개의 울타리를 넘어야 합니다.

Gormire Lake is a natural lowland lake that lies at the foot of Whitestone Cliff, a western escarpment of the Hambleton Hills

following on the trip there is a beautiful downhill forest path

One of only a few such mazes left in the country and the only one in Yorkshire.

Meaning "filthy swamp", there are many local legends and myths surrounding this lake, such as it is bottomless (it is 6.5m deep) and was created by an earthquake that swallowed a village resulting in the lake today (it is a glacial lake).

The public footpath down to the nature reserve from the Cleveland Way (at the location on OS maps marked as "Great Relief Pot") is reasonably steep, but can be very narrow in places with short wooden planks driven into the ground along the downward side of the path, presumably to prevent the path from eroding and collapsing. In other places there are plenty of stones and tree roots to help stabilise your ascent/descent. As you approach Gormire Lake look out for a very curious and quite large boulder that is almost an 8-10 foot high perfect cube. The nature reserve consists of ancient woodland and is very peaceful. Easy to access the water's edge at Gormire Lake.

Large car park under the White Horse, £2.50 all day as at July 2024. Free parking in a smaller off-road car park on Osgodby Bank at the southern end of Hood Hill Plantation. Very steep steps up to the top, but there is a metal handrail that alternates from the left to right side of the steps. Fabulous views from the top, although as others mention, you can only really see and appreciate the horse from the bottom of the bank.

Needs to be viewed from the bottom carpark
