Cod Beck to Thimbleby Walk

If you want to experience the diversity of terrain and beautiful scenery that can be found within North York Moors National Park, then the Cod Beck to Thimbleby Walk is a great way to do so. Waterside views, peaceful forests, open fields, and barren moors await on this scenic – and at times tiring – adventure in North Yorkshire.

Setting out from the trailhead, you will make your way east along Crabdale Beck, before heading to the south to climb uphill along a lane that borders a forest on the right and the moors on your left. Continuing on to the southwest, you will traverse some open fields and head downhill, before climbing up another steep hillside to pass through a lovely stretch of forest.

Descending the hillside once again, you will follow the route as it turns to the north, meeting up with the road to take you through the village of Thimbleby. From here, you will head to the northeast through Osmotherley before climbing uphill for some views of the Cod Beck Reservoir on the return to the car park where you began.
