Route Description for Osmotherley and the Cleveland Way
If you are looking for some peace and quiet along a beautiful trail that also offers the opportunity for your canine companion to run off-lead and explore the landscape, then the Osmotherley and the Cleveland Way is a great option to do so. There are a few stiles that you might need to help them traverse, as well as a few sections where livestock may be present, so try to keep them on a lead in these areas to avoid any potential interactions.
Setting out from the trailhead, you will make your way to the north through the village of Osmotherley and traverse the open fields that will eventually bring you to a scenic viewpoint over the surrounding area. Continuing to the northeast along the edge of Arncliffe Wood, you will traverse the summit of Beacon Hill and follow the path as it loops around to the southeast to descend the hillside. After crossing the footbridge, you will head south along the edge of the moor and turn west to descend the hillside on the way back into Osmotherley.
