Saturday 18th August – Airy Hill and Cleveland Street
Distance: 3 miles; Ascent 285ft; Duration 2-2½ hours Today’s starting point is outside Skelton Methodist Community Church , Castle Grange, Skelton Green, TS12 2DN at 10:30am. There is a small car park at the rear of the building, otherwise at the roadside. The route takes us along Airy Hill Lane, with fine views across East Cleveland and the Margrove Valley. At the plantation, we leave the lane and take to field paths to drop down, through the woodland, emerging on the Cleveland Street path in the Margrove Valley. This we follow to Boosbeck Road before walking on the footpath back into Skelton Green. The heritage to be seen includes many different industrial sites, a disused railway, and the site of Heartbreak Hill.

A charge of £2 per person will be made on each walk to offset the costs of Insurance. Please wear appropriate footwear and have clothing suitable for the likely weather conditions on that day. It is suggested that you bring food and drink as we usually stop between midday and 1:00pm for a lunch break.
