This is a great access point to jump onto the Cleveland Way from Cleveland Road. There is a car park a few hundred metres away to ditch the vehicle. This also happens to be an exceptional viewing point to enjoy the scenes of North York Moors

Castle Lodge is quite an impressive building to look at. Built on the sides of a daunting hill, on slightly open land in front, the views from the castle must be impressive

Riding through here is a bit more testing, the surface is rugged with rock boulder. Descending you might need to use your dropper post lower. It is always good to reach these sections as it gives you a challenge to riding
