The Thornton Steward Circular Walk is a beautiful stroll that visits many places. Beginning in the car park, you will follow the path and come across Kilgram bridge. As you continue, you will pass Jervaulx Abbey, which is a delightful little tea room, where many people stop for refreshments before continuing on their walk. You will then come across the Cover Bridge Inn which houses a beautiful beer garden that you can take a break at if you missed the tearoom beforehand. Following the path you will then come across Danby Park. Take some time to explore this area before rejoining the path, which will lead you back to the car park where you began as this is a circuit walk.
