Yorkshire Dales

Kettlewell to Buckden Easy Paced Wellness Walk under 9mls 450m accumulated ascent. A low level mostly riverside walk so should be lovely if we get a nice day.🙏 As usual it’s a FREE WALK I’d suggest car sharing where possible. Arrive in plenty of time for a prompt start. Wear comfortable boots or good walking shoes. Dress for the weather, but bring waterproofs, a hat, water, some lunch & sun lotion.

Gargrave, East Marton, Bank Newton A Very Easy Paced Yorkshire Dales Wellness Walk & Talk through the fields, along the quiet lanes & towpaths that suround Gargrave. It’s a place I often pass through but seldom stop at on my rush to get to the jewels further into the Yorkshire Dales. Dress for the weather, wear boots or comfortable walking shoes. Bring lunch, plenty of water, sun hat & lotion. Also pack waterproofs & a spare sweater.

We head out of Hardraw on the Pennine Way up to Crag End Beacon at 626m. The track is rough in places, steep in a few sections but we will take them at a pace to suit ourselves and stop frequently to take in the views, which are definitely worth the effort! We drop in to the stunning quiet valley of Cotterdale, to traverse gently back towards the Pennine Way and drop down in to Hardraw, where the pub or cafe could be a welcome stop for refreshments, reflections & congratulations on this big day out!

Settle to Stainforth via The Hoffman Kiln Return Along The River Ribble An Easy Paced Wellness Walk of less than 7 mls 260m of ascent.

Lunch near the lovely Stainforth Foss before a pleasant return along the banks of the River Ribble to Settle & maybe a pint in the Hospitable Golden Lion. Bring lunch & plenty to drink, waterproofs and spare clothes, but dress for the weather. Wear boots of comfortable walking shoes. Could be dangerous for dogs?
