Slow Ways linking Danby and Chop Gate, Goathland, Guisborough, Loftus, Rosedale Abbey, Stokesley, Whitby

Danby’s seven Slow Ways are 43% checked
Help connect Danby
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Danby’s Slow Ways.

It’s mostly recognised trails and the remainder is very well sign posted - it’s a pleasure to walk without having to worry about cows, bulls, farm dogs and routes which are blocked or don’t exist. Walked as part of the National Parks Challenge 2026....

Such a pleasure to walk a route which is well signposted, minus cows/bulls in fields and absent overgrown sections of brambles and nettles....

I attempted part of this route, from Liverton Road to Danby in March after a fairly dry month but a little recent rain. I'm also concerned that part of the route through Loftus Wood is not actually usable, please see the description of my new route DanLof 2 for details....

Too much road walking, with sections where no verge to get off road if vehicles pass. Stokesley to killdale section Dangerous for walkers....

High points: There is a truly lovely riverside path either side of Glaisdale running from Rake Lane through the village to Delves Lane near Danby, although the path is occasionally steep and can get slippery and muddy in winter. Low points: The path can very easily get muddy in bad weather; the stretches between Danby station and Danby Beacon, and between Sleights and Ruswarp can be particularly bad, especially in winter. Road Walking: Quite a bit, especially along Delves Lane between Glaisdale and Egton....

Walked this route from Guisborough to Danby on a classic changeable spring day. - there is one quite tricky stile right at the end, as you approach Danby (see first photo) where you have to climb up some stone steps. - there's not really any places to stop once you leave Guisborough. I came across maybe 1 bench (at the top of the first climb our of Guisborough Forest)....
Jamie Gibson
It's quite a varied route, starting out on a quiet road and an old railway line out of Guisborough (near the famous priory, which is well worth a look before you start), uphill through a wood, before emerging out onto the moors and into the national park, where I saw lots of grouse....
