ONE way of avoiding the heat it is to stick to the trees. If you are holidaying in the North York Moors this walk makes a good change from the coast and the pen moors. It also makes for a good choice if the rain arrives! The walk starts in the pretty but small market town of Thornton le Dale on the A170. Have a quick look round the lovely All Saints church near the town centre before heading north up the main road towards the forest. After 200 metres the road divides. Take the right (minor road) fork and carry on for half a mile to an old paper mill at the road end. Cross Dalby Beck and carry on along the bank to the start of the forest. The forest starts with some minor woodland till a gate brings you to the forest proper.
