Pexton Moor Trail


(Average user rating: unrated unrated)

DUE TO SNOW ROAD ACCESS IS POSSIBLE UP TO THE VISITOR CENTRE ONLY BUT ALL MOUNTAIN BIKE AND WALKING TRAILS ARE CLOSED. updated 10/2/12

A circular trail around Pexton Moor taking in the diverse mixture of woodland, scrub and grassland in the area. There are outstanding views over the riggs and dales of Dalby and over Ryedale towards Helmsley. The route follows a mixture of earth tracks, forest road and compacted gravel path. It may be slippery in wet weather. It is our intention to make this a wheel/pushchair friendly route. In the meantime the flat terrain of the area means that it is a very easy route to follow for people who have some mobility.
