Yorkshire Dales

This is a lovely, slow paced scenic walk with 500ft of elevation up to the trig point, taking in views over the county and walking back via the crags. We will be walking mostly on tracks and walking boots are recommended. There is a cafe and toilets at the start and end point of this circular route.

This ladies only walk is just over 9 miles. It takes us from the pretty village of Kettlewell to Starbotton further up the valley. After that we climb up the side of Bucken pike, which we will take steadily, no rush, let's enjoy the views. We then descend quite steeply into Bucken. We then cross over the river Wharfe and return to Kettlewell along the Dales Way which is by the side of the river.

We start in the bustling market town of Settle and ascend quite steeply then down to Langcliffe where we will continue to the amazing Hoffman Kiln, a large and well preserved lime kiln. We can spend a bit of time discovering the area, before continuing into the village of Stainforth. We will then go and spend a bit of time watching the Stainforth Force waterfall. We will return to Settle along the River Ribble.
