High on the moors we follow a road for a few miles before returning to tracks through the heathers. Another road walk and then the route takes a broad disused track gradually descending Glaisdale Moor into Glaisdale village. We leave Glaisdale and the route, never far from the River Esk, passes through East Arncliffe Wood to Egton Bridge where it follows a once toll road through the private estate of Egton Manor to Grosmont.
• There are a few village shops and a pub in Glaisdale.
• Adopted as the symbol of Glaisdale Beggars Bridge has spanned the River Esk since 1619.
• The Toll House still displays the fees once charged to use the road.
• From Grosmont station trains run towards Whitby or Middlesborough. North York Moors steam trains follow their line south to Pickering.
• There is a pub serving evening meals, a few cafes and shops in the village.
• 09:00 start from Lion Inn
• Arrive Grosmont 15:00
