Route Description for Botton and Blakey Ridge Circular Walk
If you want to experience sweeping views across the seemingly barren landscape of the North York Moors National Park while out on your next walk, then you should consider giving the Botton and Blakey Ridge Circular Walk a shot.
Setting out from the trailhead, you will initially make your way to the southeast across the moor, before turning to the southeast to meet up with the old Rosedale Railway. Following along this easy-going track, you will traverse the open landscape of the moor at a good pace and eventually arrive at Blakey Ridge.
After taking in the sweeping views across the undulating landscape of the national park, you will make your way to the northeast to continue across the moor, descending the hillside to reach Botton in the green valley below. Turning to the south, you will once again climb up the hillside to traverse the heather-covered moor on the way back into the trailhead where you began.
