Cleveland Way day 2 High Paradise Farm - Beak Hills Farm 20th March 2025

Loveley sleep in the appartment/cottage at High Paradise farm. I set off around 7 AM after a cup of tea with the plan of getting breakfast when I got to Osmotherley.

An epic 18 miles of 5 star walking and stunning scenery. The first 6 - 7 miles to Osmothererley were relatively easy. I stopped in the village for breakfast at the coffee shop.

After breakfast the going got tough. A climb out of  the village followed by a roller coaster of ups and downs as I climbed up to a moor and then down into a valley and back up again. There were spectacular (but hazy) views to the north across the vale with Roseberry Topping in the distance. These included

• Scarth Wood Moor
• Live Moor
• Carlton Moor
• Cringle Moor

Just after Carlton Moor there was Lordstones cafe where I had a much appreciated tea and scones before the final climb of the day up to Cringle Moor and then down to Beak Hills farm.

From Osmotherley I shared the trail with the Coast to Coast path.
