The Chevin: Leisure
The Chevin is much more than the area around Surprise View where, from atop its 280 metres, visitors are able to soak up magnificent views of the surrounding countryside: from York in the east, to the hills beyond Skipton in the west.
Straying from the well worn paths around the summit can lead to difficult walking conditions; as witnessed by the steepness of the slope, but in other areas the varied topography lends itself to equally varied pursuits. From walks or horse riding through the gentle woods, to picnics in the level grassy open areas at Danefield or climbing on the grit at Caley Crags.
