Why not expand your
horizons by using your
local facilities and
benefits?
Not a new idea perhaps but certainly a better way to
maximise one element of a healthy lifestyle. You don’t
need to ‘get on yer bike’ and you can forget the car!
All it costs is a few pence and a little shoe leather.
It has been scientifically proven that regular walking
can radically improve a whole range of medical
conditions, not least reduce hypertension, excess
weight and enhance skin and muscle tone. All that’s
required from you is a little commitment. The rewards
can be a heightened awareness of the countryside
around you and a sense of wonder at just how much
you have been missing out on the real Redcar and
Cleveland. So why not give it a go? There are no
guarantees but the possibilities are almost endless.
Start today. The future is in your hands – and feet!
Change for the bus
A good pair of shoes with good grip!
A small rucksack (not essential)
Bottle of water
Waterproof jacket
...and don’t forget your
medication (if needed)

4 Cross the field, bearing left, to another stile

the path of the old railway line and go directly
downwards, into the wood, to a clearing and
convergence of two streams. Cross the main
stream via the footbridge.
5 Go up the steps of a short slope to a stile.
Cross this and see another stile, some 60 metres
away and then walk up a grassy slope to a newish
fence, with Rylock barbed-wire. Walk along from
the corner. Follow this to another stile.
6 Keep the field’s edge on your left, ignoring
stile partway along. At hedge opening go right
and follow the hedgerow all the way and cross
a raised farm track. Green Hills Farm should be

Route
1 Warrenby Roundabout bus stand, at the
western end of Coatham Road, Redcar. Bus stands
at both sides of the road here. Walk along Warrenby
road and over the bridge. This is no longer a viable
community and the road goes on to the South Gare.
2 To the left see Coatham Marsh Nature Reserve,
a car park some 100 metres ahead. Well worth a visit
now or later. If ‘later’ then go on for almost 1/2 mile
to the council reclamation compound.

3 Cross the road. Just before compound see
a prepared opening in the fence. Go through
and follow single track through the grass and
up onto the ridge. Pause here to take in the
360 degrees view.
4 Look south, over towards the Trunk Road; in
the foreground you will see a stream, barely flowing.
It is fishable but only under licence and no barbed
hooks. This stream is known as The Fleet.
5 Abundance and variety of flora here: marshmarigolds, yarrow, spearworth, toadflax, black
mustard, meadow buttercup, etc.
6 Walk down the ridge and across the stream.
You will see a metal footbridge ahead. This takes
you over the main railway line.
7 On the far side see a rough vehicle track. Go
along this for 50 metres, looking for three stunted
trees by a single track to your left that takes you
up onto a grassy knoll. These mounds are basically
industrial/archaeological relics.
8 Follow this, heading down to a stand of trees
slightly to your left. On the right a brown brick
building. Keep right, emerging onto the Trunk Road
via fence opening. Cross here to go to Dormanstown
shopping centre and the Broadway for the bus(es)
or opt to go left along the Trunk Road to the traffic
lights and Locke Park Corner bus stand(s).

Why not expand your
horizons by using your
local facilities and
benefits?
Not a new idea perhaps but certainly a better way to
maximise one element of a healthy lifestyle. You don’t
need to ‘get on yer bike’ and you can forget the car!
All it costs is a few pence and a little shoe leather.
It has been scientifically proven that regular walking
can radically improve a whole range of medical
conditions, not least reduce hypertension, excess
weight and enhance skin and muscle tone. All that’s
required from you is a little commitment. The rewards
can be a heightened awareness of the countryside
around you and a sense of wonder at just how much
you have been missing out on the real Redcar and
Cleveland. So why not give it a go? There are no
guarantees but the possibilities are almost endless.
Start today. The future is in your hands – and feet!
Change for the bus
A good pair of shoes with good grip!
A small rucksack (not essential)
Bottle of water
Waterproof jacket
...and don’t forget your
medication (if needed)
