Help with maps and directions
Walk directions
Each walk is identified by a letter (indicating map area - see below) and a number (for example B 02)
The walk directions are divided into numbered paragraphs
The numbers in the walk directions correspond to the numbers on the walk map
Each direction starts at the point shown by the numbered circle on the map
The route between these points is shown by a hand-drawn red line, dotted for footpath, continuous for road.
In the directions:
A 6-digit number in italics and enclosed by round brackets is the Ordnance Survey map reference of that point
Where simple directions are adequate, each direction may cover a large distance on the walk
Where the route is more complicated, each direction may cover a much shorter distance on the walk
After each numbered direction paragraph, the distance covered by the direction (in metres) is in square brackets
Maps
I suggest using Ordnance Survey "Explorer" series maps (or their "map app") in addition to the walk directions
The identification letter for each walk (see above) corresponds to an area of OS map (B
indicates map OL26 south)
For Copyright reasons I have not used OS maps to show the walk routes on this website

The top of the map is the direction of North
On the Locations maps, a black circle indicates the starting point of a walk (the walk number is in red)
The scale of the map is shown by a thin black line with the distance it represents (usually 2km) immediately above
On the Walks maps, a black circle indicates a point on the route, numbered with the walk direction paragraph
The route between these points is shown by a hand-drawn red line, dotted for footpath, continuous for road.
The scale of the map is shown by a thin black line with the distance it represents (usually 500m) immediately above
Travel to the walk locations
Travel to the walk locations by public transport is difficult, many are not on bus routes and buses are infrequent
For North York Moors locations, look at information on the Moors Bus
Travel directions assume travel by car and I suggest sharing a car whenever possible and safe to do so
Travel directions added so far are from York as the routes were originally walked by people from the York area
