Just before reaching the high point of Cotherstone Moor, turn right through a field gate that gives onto a broad track running eastwards, initially through reeds. To the north-east, a trig pillar marks the top of West Hare Crag, which can be reached by continuing first with the Pennine Way to a stile at Race Yate Rigg, and then crossing rough ground. Return the same way. The crag marks the highest point hereabouts.

Ravock Castle and Deep Dale

Continue eastwards across the moor on an improving track that eventually leads to a gate at a wall-end. Here, the Pennine Way moves away in a south-westerly direction, but is not always clear underfoot. A surer guide is to turn right at the gate (do not pass through it) and pick up a clear, narrow path descending to cross Hazelgill Beck. When the accompanying wall changes direction, move to a south-westerly direction and aim across reedy ground for the conspicuous, isolated farm at Levy Pool, set in the middle of a stand of trees. A footbridge gives onto a track around the building and then out along a stony track.
