St. Edmund's Church

Highlight • Rest Area

This church, registered as a monument, dates back to the 12th century.
In 1683 a lot of work was done on the church and in the 19th century the choir was rebuilt.

Walkers can go to the back of the church for snacks, drinks and ... blister plasters.
Of course you pay correctly (there is a clear price list) via the honesty box.

Whitcliffe Wood

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

In this wood, Robert Willance, a notable of Richmond, on a horseback hunt in 1606, chased by the descending fog, is said to have urged his horse to bring him home quickly, falling 200 feet in the process. His horse did not survive; the horseman miraculously did: he escaped with a broken leg.

View of Richmond

Highlight • Viewpoint

There is a sign on the bench with a quote from Alfred Wainwright, in which he speaks highly of the city of Richmond.
As a Coast to Coast walker you will also see that it is only 76.5 miles (123km) more to Robin Hood's Bay... so you already have 113.5 miles (more than 182km) in your legs.

Cairn Below Applegarth Scar

Highlight • Monument

A brilliant cairn on this spot, marking the junction of the footpath from Marske with the Applegarth Scar bridleway. There are terrific views from here to the south: over the River Swale to Thorpe Edge, Red Scar and West Wood.
