Walk to Sutton Bank not just for the stunning scenery, but to watch gliders take off, towed by small planes, and glide back down. Sometimes they feel just an arm’s length away! A unique and thrilling sight.

Well worth taking the path down from the Cleveland Way to Gormire Lake, where you can enjoy the peace of the ancient woodland that is Garbutt Wood Nature Reserve.

One of many good quality tracks and paths that riddle the plantations and woodland around Hood Hill, with many of them providing welcome shade on very hot and sunny days.

Large car park under the White Horse, £2.50 all day as at July 2024. Free parking in a smaller off-road car park on Osgodby Bank at the southern end of Hood Hill Plantation. Very steep steps up to the top, but there is a metal handrail that alternates from the left to right side of the steps. Fabulous views from the top, although as others mention, you can only really see and appreciate the horse from the bottom of the bank.

Free parking on Osgodby Bank to the south of the plantation. Plenty of broad tracks and narrow paths to choose from, with some steep gradients and access up to the Kilburn White Horse.
