About Sneaton Forest
Sneaton Forest is a true mixture of new and old. The larger part of the forest to the south is principally a conifer plantation of the 1960's while the northern area is chiefly old broadleaved woodland among steep valleys. Main interest lies in the old woodland, Falling Foss (a spectacular waterfall after rain), The Hermitage ( a huge boulder hollowed out to form a shelter in the 1700's) and Maybeck Picnic Place.
How to get there:
Whitby is the nearest town or village.
By car or cycle. From Whitby follow the B1416 south crossing the River Esk at Ruswarp follow the roads for about three miles until it turns sharply left (east). There are signs saying May Beck and Byway to Falling Foss
