(S/E) To get to the start, walk along A684 to West Witton. Look for a bus stop on the right, and turn downhill on the right on Flats Lane just after the bus stop and before the wall. Then, find a path on your right between to walls and walkway to the River Ure is just behind it North-West along Back Lane.
(1) Once at the River Ure follow the walkway to the West upstream, you will see Redmire Force and move on from there West until you see the stepping stones in the river.
The onward path leaves the river and with a wall on your right cross a stile and walk to the corner of the next field where another stile will be found. Cross this stile and following a clear path through trees you soon reach Redmire Force.
(2) After Redmire Force the path climbs away from the river and leaves the woodland. Continuing to follow the path across a number of fields you reach Stony Scoop Lane (grid ref. SE031895).
(3) The start of Stony Scoop Lane isn't obvious, go through the gate and walk up the field keeping the wall on your left and it becomes clearer. This partially enclosed track and follow it to reach the A684.
(4) With care turn left (East) along the main road. Just before Temple Farm take the stile on the right (South-East) and join the farm track that leads South across a field to reach a wood. The track then climbs through trees with a stile on the left allowing access to the remains of the Chapel of the Knights Templar. You may be impressed or not but the remains which include some graves date from the early thirteenth century.
(5) To continue, walk to the top of the field following an indistinct track. Continuing into the next field you reach a concrete track. Continue uphill on along this track until it bends right.
(6) When you leave the concrete track you are faced by two gates in the wall! Take the left hand one. Don't be tempted by the stiles further up the slope. Walk uphill to a gate in a wall. Turning East, cross the next field to a further gate and another field. Keep the wall on your immediate right and you will soon locate a stile. This provides access to the walled Langthwaite Lane.
(7) Walk East along this lane with Nossill Scars and the flanks of Penhill above to your right. After three quarters of a mile the walled lane exits onto a tarmac lane (grid ref. SE053882).
(8) Walk straight ahead and continue to the A684. Turn right along the main road and walk through the village back to the start in West Witton (S/E).
