Nature Trail

from Raincliffe Gate

T he Nature Trail was devised by Alan Tomlinson, Footpaths & Rights of  Way officer for Scarborough Borough Council.

Much of the work required to prepare the route was carried out by Scarborough Conservation Volunteers and staff from SBC Parks & Countryside Services . Members of FoRWoods assisted with way marking.

The Nature Trail begins at Hazel Head car park, which is situated at the junction of the Forge Valley/ Hackness Road and Low Road.

There are two clearly marked trails. For the shorter trail - marked in red on the map- allow approximately 2hrs.

The longer trail - shown in yellow- is more strenuous  and likely to take around 3 hours.

The trail follows clearly defined footpaths, bridleways and tracks with a set of numbered posts marking out areas of interest.

A 26 page illustrated guide to accompany the nature trail has been produced and is available  from:-

or e-mail FoRWoods.
