Six-mile walk takes in Trollers Gill and the River Wharfe (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A straightforward walk from the lovely village of Appletreewick. The walk heads on to the moors near Trollers Gill before descending towards the River Wharfe and a delightful section of riverside walking. Start by parking in Appletreewick near the New Inn hotel. Either head down to the river and walk along for 200 metres, returning to the road or simply stick to the road. If it is quiet the riverside is lovely. Cross the road and head up a track that climbs steeply uphill. To the left is Kail Hi

IN the heart of Nidderdale is the attractive village of Pateley Bridge. Now tourism and sheep thrive, but in the past industry dominates.

Go wild on this walk to - possibly - the remotest spot in England (opens the original)
Read excerpt

The dib is a fine example of a dry limestone va

The walk starts in the lovely village of Keld, drive in to the village and it is on the left. Keld can be a busy place for walkers, it is where the Coast to Coast and Pennine Way meet.

'Quiet' country walk exploring mining history (opens the original)
Read excerpt
THERE is something very English about Rosedale. It is also mostly quiet walking. The low level moors and dale floor combine with the industrial remains of the lead mining industry to offer a pleasant day to explore. The village green at Rosedale Abbey is the best place to start the walk. The first thing to note is that there is no abbey and never was in Rosedale. However, a Cistercian priory did exist. This has since been destroyed, although some of the stone has been re-used to build the existi
