APPLETON-LE-MOORS

Appleton-le-Moors is a typical Yorkshire ‘croft and toft’ village. The crofts are the little cottages arranged on either side of the long main street; the tofts are the pieces of land extending from the back of each dwelling, where householders would grow their own vegetables. The imposing Dweldapilton Hall was built by a wealthy whaler, Dweldapilton being an earlier name for the village. The Moors Inn offers food, drink and accommodation.

Follow the track away from the hall, eventually reaching a prominent junction of tracks. Walk through a gate and approach a wood where you will see two gates ahead – be sure to go through the gate on the right into the wood. Turn right to walk around the inside edge of the wood, then continue through fields. Turn right along another clear track, Bottomfields Lane, which rises gently. Turn left at the top and continue along a grassy track through more fields. The track then becomes narrow and drops steeply, passing through a gate and down to a road. Turn right to walk back up into the charming village of Hutton-le-Hole.
