The top-heavy Pepperpot is one of the natural Bridestones sculptures

Turn left along a clear path and keep left at junctions with less well-trodden paths. A clear track runs onwards, with Dalby Forest to the right and scrub moorland to the left. Keep to this track, which rises very gently as it proceeds, to reach an improved pasture on Newgate Moor. Turn slightly left to follow another track along the top of wooded Newgate Brow, with the hump of Blakey Topping prominently in view. Later, watch carefully for a narrow path slicing down to the right. An old stone gatepost partly buried in the undergrowth helps identify it. Follow this path down across the wooded slope and continue along its foot, keeping left of farm buildings at Newgate Foot.

Cross stiles on either side of the access road and turn left along a grassy terrace. Watch carefully for a small gate on the right and walk down through a squelchy field to a large gate. Follow a path that gradually drifts away from a forest, going through more gates as a couple of big fields give way to bracken moorland. Continue until you reach the prominent leaning stone pillar of Malo Cross at a junction of paths.
