Walking at the Hole of Horcum, North York Moors

Last Sunday I set off with four friends to do one of our favourite walks, the Hole of Horcum, in the North York Moors National Park, North Yorkshire.

The Hole of Horcum is a huge natural amphitheatre 400 feet deep and more than half a mile across.

We parked at the car park on the A169 above the Hole of Horcum.

We walked from the 'you are here' on the map, east along the blue trail and then red to Levisham. From there we walked north east to Skelton Tower and back east along the top yellow path, back to the car park. In all the walk was about 8 miles.
