Middlehead Huts

Tabular Hills Walk

Traverses the dramatic escarpment of the North York Moors between Helmsley and Scarborough, with sustained climbs and descents across open moorland and wooded valleys. Challenging terrain unsuitable for buggies and too demanding for young children, though older kids who love hills will thrive. Dogs welcome but keep them under close control near grazing sheep on exposed sections. Rewards you with sweeping views across heather moorland, ancient woodlands, and glimpses of the Vale of Pickering belo

Pexton Trail

Loops through peaceful woodland and open countryside near Goathland with gentle to moderate inclines throughout. Suitable for older children but not buggy-friendly due to uneven forest paths and muddy sections after rain. Dogs welcome on leads. Offers a quieter alternative to busier North York Moors trails with lovely seasonal woodland colours and occasional moorland views. Decent boots recommended year-round.

Dalby Beck Red Trail

Loops through Dalby Forest on well-maintained gravel tracks with gentle gradients, perfect for families and buggies. Dogs welcome on leads. The red waymarked route weaves through mature conifer plantations with occasional open viewpoints across the North York Moors, offering a proper woodland wander without serious climbs. Ideal for getting kids into the forest without wrestling tough terrain.
