Another route up to the moor is from the village of Askham, as you can see on the map. this allows a quick route to the top of Heughscar Hill. This allows a good vista over Moor Divock, without having to get all knackered going up the High Street. With a pair of binoculars you can probably make out a lot of the stones and cairns. Without them, you can sort of see the way down to the Cockpit and White Raise.
There are a couple of nice pubs in askham too.
