Explore lead mining past on this Pateley Bridge walk (opens the original)
Read excerpt
IN the heart of Nidderdale is the attractive village of Pateley Bridge. Today tourism and sheep thrive, but in the past industry dominates. The contrast between the remains of the lead mining industry and the beautiful countryside makes for an enjoyable walk. From the centre of Pateley Bridge cross the road bridge over the River Nidd heading west before climbing up the road for 200 metres to a track heading up to your right. Take this track and follow it in a westerly direction as it climbs on t
Buckden Pike walk visits poignant memorial to Polish air crew (opens the original)
Read excerpt
THE head of Wharfedale is surrounded by four of the Dales 30 Mountains (all over 2,000ft high). The one to the east is Buckden Pike, the most enjoyable of the four. Add in the Polish War Memorial on the summit ridge for an excellent day out. I always enjoy getting the main climbing out the way early so exit the car park via a gate at its north end and head on a wide track to the steep flanks of Buckden Pike, initially skirting the steepest ground. After passing through some pleasant woodland the
A fine walk in 'possibly the most remote spot in England' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
RIGGS Moor on the National Park/Nidderdale border is a remote spot, possibly the most remote in England. However the tracks in are excellent, full of interest (both historical and geographical) and once there you do feel that you are somewhere special. I parked next to the bridge over the River Wharfe at Conistone, a lovely hamlet. Start by taking a walk up the Conistone Dib, found by walking through a small, attractive green east of the stables. The dib is a fine example of a dry limestone vall

Getting there takes time but on arrival enjoy the rolling moors, industrial heritage, pretty villages all flanked by the picturesque River Swale. 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. Walk back through the village and join a good track high ab
Walks: Exploring Roseldale in the heart of the North York Moors (opens the original)
Read excerpt
THERE is something very English about Rosedale on the North York Moors. 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-u
