Lisvane House, Grosmont

We went to The Gallery for tea and scones. Then up to Lisvane, a grand old Victorian house on the hill. Our accommodation for the night.

Later the Wilsons and I headed off to Egton in a taxi for dinner at the Wheatsheaf Inn. Great atmosphere with very friendly people and fantastic food.

In deference to the many grouse we saw on the track I had grouse breast with wild mushrooms, and juniper berries for dinner. It was delicious. Quite gamey but not too strong.

And the Hogwarts train again

Grosmont and the Hogwarts train

We arrived in Grosmont just as the railway crossing gates closed. We were lucky enough to see the train - the Hogwarts Express set out for Whitby.

The River Esk

Egton Bridge

We made our way to Egton Bridge. A stunning small town with a magnificent manor. We then tok the old tollroad to Grosmont, passing the former Toll House on the way. Beautiful scenery all the way.

Private fishing

The river Esk and East Arncliffe Woods

After lunch with most of the walk behind us, we set off in fine weather. We passed through the most tranquil East Arncliffe Woods following the River Esk.

Views from moors down the valleys

We followed trails over the moors for a couple of hours with tantalizing glimpses down valleys and to the North Sea. Eventually we came down off the moors into Glaidsdale. We stopped at the Ancliffe Arms for a tasty lunch. A welcome relief for me as my left foot had been painful.

Day 16 - High Blakey Ridge to Grosmont, 24km, 7 hours

We set odd over the moors with grey skies and fine misting rain. We followed the road over Blakey Ridge and Glaidsdale High Moor. There were lots of grouse about and we managed to photograph them. They were even rather cheeky, much less shy than ones we had seen previously.
