The Three Tuns, Osmotherley

Osmotherley

In the afternoon the Wilsons and I were driven into Osmotherley. This picturesque village is a little way off the trail and a favoured overnight stop. We had a look around then went into a cafe for tea and scones. We went for a little more of a walk then sat down to a drink at The Three Tuns. This is a lively bar also offering accommodation next door at Moon House. What a great bar and a good menu. We watched the walkers come and go and also the locals.

We then went over the road to the Golden Lion. This was also a very lively bar with lots of dining. We had a most delicious meal and all enjoyed the rack of lamb for main. Despite seining sheep everywhere, we have rarely seen lamb on the menu, and never before a rack. We then caught a taxi back to Park House

The Blue Bill Inn

By lunch time we were in Ingleby Arncliffe. We stopped at the Blue Bill Inn for a beer and pork sandwiches. We sat outside and watched all the local village happenings. After lunch we walked up the foothills of the Cleveland Hills to Park House B&B. We have a lovely view over the flats below.

Farm entrance

This beautiful tub was at the entrance to a farm with chickens, sheep and a most plentiful vegetable and flower garden

Donkeys

Along with the donkeys and Shetland pony, two dogs welcomed us to this farm

We then followed a small local track for many kilometers. In the distance the Cleveland Hills marked our way. As the day progressed we drew closer and closer.

Lots of styles to climb over

Day 14 - Oaktree Hill to Ingleby Arncliffe, 12 km, 3 hours

Another fine day and a short walk. After a delicious breakfast of home bacon and sausages at Lovesome Hill Farm, we hit the road. We made our way down the hill beside a busy road, then retreated to the peace of a bridal path. We had a vey pleasant, if not muddy walk along a trail between hedgerows. We then traversed a number of farms. Unfortunately these were usually very boggy. It was wonderful to walk close to all the different farm houses. We could really see what they were up to. Some of the yards were awash with mud and manure, others perfectly manicured. Mostly we were welcomed by a dog.
