Visit an amazing folly called the Druids Temple on this walk. Described as a mini Stonehenge, it is well worth a visit and there is a café nearby for a pitstop. The walk starts in the village of Fearby and the village pub The Black Swan is also a great way to start or finish the walk. The walk itself is a challenge due to its length and climbs at different parts of the walk. A map which includes this walk and other walks is available from The Black Swan website here: The Black Swan

Getting There  If travelling from Middlesbrough, take the A66 to Darlington and follow it onto the A1 and follow the A1 until you come to the Northallerton/Bedale turn off. Follow the road to Bedale which is the B268. Follow the signs to Masham and then from Masham follow the signs to the village of Fearby. Parking can be found at a car park to the right just after the Black Swan pub.

The Walk From the car park in Fearby turn right and walk along the road until you come to a left turning where a school is. Turn left and follow the road down taking care to listen for traffic as the road is quite narrow.

 When you come to a metal bridge cross over and then turn right towards Broadmires.

Carry on through the farm and go through the gate at the end of the farmyard.Go through another gate heading for the woodland. Continue on the well worn track through two more gates.

Page 8: Druids temple

Follow the track to the gate in the wall and keeping the wall to your right you the track will soon descend and keep your eyes peeled for a three directions signpost.

Page 9: Druids temple

This is an important signpost - you basically need to follow the direction of the Druids Temple 1 signpost. This feels unusual as you will literally be doubling back on yourself, however you will be taking a different route back. A tip would be to look for the signposts with green arrows on and you will be on the right path.

You will now be walking through open fields.  This is a good time to check your GPS and you will soon realise you are heading for the Druids Temple. Continue on the track until you come to a gate and turn right and follow the track to the road which leads to Druids Temple. Turn right and you will arrive at the Druids Temple car park- follow the track to the right of the car park and you will soon arrive at the Druids Temple. Ideal for a pitstop and to take pictures.

On leaving the Druids Temple, make your way back down the road from the car park and directly opposite the gate you came through turn right and follow the road past The Bivouac Café (again another chance for a pitstop)

Head down the hill and then turn left at the bottom, keeping the woods to your right. When you come to a road, turn left and then immediately right over a gate (you may need to climb over some of the gates).
