First Petal Walk

The Saint Mary Magdalene Petal Walk is the first of our SAPT circular walks around each church along the Trail. This is one we hope to make an "accessible to all" Petal Walk that can also be used by ramblers on wheels (disabled ramblers). Enjoy a pleasant and bracing winter morning walk through East Moor Wood and on Helmsley Moor along good paths that lead back to Saint Mary Magdalene Church.

Distance 4.7 miles

Time: approximately 1.5 hours.

Grade: easy

1. From the church, walk downhill for a short distance and turn right on the farm track. Walk along the track, over a stream and fork right straight afterwards. Follow this track to a gate before a junction of three paths and take the right hand track.*

2. Follow this good track with the valley on your right for just over a mile until you come to a junction of paths. Take the good path to the left. 

3. Head in a Westerly direction for approximately half a mile across Collis Ridge. You will meet a small gate. Go through this gate.

4. The easiest route is to turn slightly right at this gate and then bear left with the path to meet the track. This path takes you across some small streams to another gate after half a mile.

5. Go through this gate and take the path due South for a short distance and then take the second left track at a track junction of 4 tracks.

6. Follow this track for a mile and a quarter without turning off it. You will arrive back at the gate near the beginning of your walk*. Continue back to the road and turn left for a short distance back to the church.
