WALKERS can now enjoy a smoother passage across a section of the Cleveland Way.
The North York Moors National Park Authority has removed the last stile in the western section of the long-distance route.
The authority has removed 59 stiles on the Cleveland Way since 1994 as part of its work to improve access.
Only 69 stiles remain, and the authority is planning to remove as many as possible, although some will have to stay for livestock reasons.
Spokesman Richard Gunton said: "We want as many people as possible to enjoy this beautiful landscape and the benefits of getting out and about in the fresh air."
