Around Settle

Departure from Settle (North Yorkshire)

This short walk explores the limestone scenery to the east of Settle and includes the area in the vicinity of Attermire Scar.

Crummack Dale and Ingleborough

Departure from Austwick (North Yorkshire)

A lovely walk with changing landscapes and panoramas. From the quiet and scenic Crummack Dale, via limestone escarpments and limestone pavement, you will join the three peaks path to the summit of Ingleborough where you will be rewarded with excellent views on a clear day. The return leg is via the pothole of Gaping Gill and the gorge at Trow Gill before crossing back into Crummack Dale.

Janet's Foss, Weets Top, Calton Moor and River Aire

Departure from Malham (North Yorkshire)

A circular route which can be done in either direction. As described it leaves Malham village on the good paths to the popular Janet's Foss waterfall, then it takes the quiet road past the entrance to Gordale and up the hill until a track leads to the summit of Weets Top. The gentle descent of Calton Moor provides a different landscape and views over to Rystone Fell and Cracoe Fell. More quiet roads allow you to take in the pretty villages of Calton and Airton before following the riverside path back to Malham passing, Hanlith Hall and Aire Head, which is the source of the river Aire.

Malham Tarn and Cove via the bio-diverse pastures under Pikedaw Hill.

Departure from Malham (North Yorkshire)

An interesting circular walk from the delightful village of Malham. Up through the pasture below Pikedaw Hill to the well mark footpaths that lead across to Langscar Gate and then Malham Tarn, which is a great place to pic-nic. The return leg is via the dry valley of Watlowes to Malham Cove with its spectacular limestone pavement. Descend via the well made steps and then the less trodden footpath to the East of the village.

The Dales High Way and Settle from Malham

Departure from Malham (North Yorkshire)

A nice circular walk from Malham in a westerly direction towards Settle and then curving north past Attermire Scar with a detour to explore Victoria Cave. The loop returns towards Malham via Malham Cove. Interesting and varied scenery throughout the walk and mostly on well maintained paths or tracks.

Gordale Scar, Malham Tarn and Malham Cove

Departure from Malham (North Yorkshire)

A great circular walk from Malham village, taking in Janet's Cave / Foss, Gordale Scar, Malham Tarn, the limestone pavement at the top of Malham Cove and the cove itself before finishing back at the car. Consistently interesting and varied scenery.

⚠️Please note that there is a scramble up steep water worn rock in Goredale between waypoints (2) and (3). Some people might find this challenging and please do not attend to do this part when it is raining or icy! However an alternative is possible.

Malham Cove, Janet's Foss and Gordale Scar

Departure from Malham (North Yorkshire)

Lovely circular walk to discover Janet's Foss waterfall, Gordale Scar and waterfall and Malham Cove. Dog friendly. Can be very busy during summer months.
