Continuing our walk from yesterday's post, after reaching Whitby Road, we turned up a track and then right onto a disused railway which is now a cycle and footpath and which runs westward to the south of Guisborough, and is known as the Guisborough Greenway. We eventually left the trail by descending a flight of steps onto Belmangate and the way back into the centre of Guisborough. However before leaving the trail I couldn't resist a shot of this finger post.
Two things caught my eye - the round feature at the top, with a flower at its centre, and the pair of walking boots on the support post. They look almost as battered and worn as mine!
I suspect we will be back here to continue our walk westwards along the trail, though I'm not sure it will be this year, since Moorsbus is only running until the end of August (only a 2 month season) due to financial constraints.
This was a quite short walk but was full of interest, and fitted in well with other things we were doing while in Guisborough.
Sorry for the later than usual post, I've only just got back from another Moorsbus trip today.
The walk sounds wonderful and, the fingerpost is really interesting especially with the boots. The boots like like my boots at the end of a good bushwalk as per the pic I posted a while back: https://365project.org/ankers70/365/2023-06-29.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
It has become quite a common thing to have interesting features along cycle routes. Some of the benches beside this track have railway related armrests. In York, the old main line railway running south has a scale model of the solar system, while a cycle trail at Thame in Oxfordshire has sculptures of different types of railway signal dating back to the earliest years of the railways.
NB Thankyou for the follow.

Thank you Gloria - I thought it was great fun with the boots!

The boots did it for me, I had to have a shot!
