The farm buildings of Thorpe under Stone lie within the military training area, but apart from odd warning signs round the periphery, there's nothing much to distinguish this from ordinary farmland and the sheep graze freely without being blown up. A public footpath descends from the Hudswell road to the main road in Swaledale, but as there are no continuations on the other sides of either road, it does not really form part of a longer walk, and seems little used. On the other hand, signposts invite one to traverse branch paths off both sides of the right of way marked on the map, despite signs at the roadheads advising walkers to stick to the public footpath.
