Skelton Tower walks

The Hole of Horcum and Skelton Tower Viewpoint

Walker

Departure from Lockton (North Yorkshire)

An interesting walk around and then through the geological feature known as The Hole of Horcum. There is a detour to the ruin of Skelton Tower and from there good views of the steam engines running on the North Yorkshire Moors Historical Railway. The rim of the hole has the remains of Iron Age earth workings taking the form of dykes.
