A nice circular walk taking in Pen-y-Ghent and returning to Horton in Ribblesdale with regular views of the Settle to Carlisle Railway.

A classic route up and down one of the peaks that form part of the Three Peaks Challenge, from Horton-in-Ribblesdale, with good paths, majestic scenery and free-roaming sheep on the hillsides. The route starts and finishes at the railway station (regular trains from Leeds and Carlisle), but it also goes past the public car park. At 694m, Pen-y-ghent ('hill on the border') is the smallest of the three Yorkshire peaks, but its profile makes it stand out from the surrounding landscape. Great views from the top on a clear day. The route heads over Whitber Hill to pick up the Pennine Way to go back to Horton-in-Ribblesdale.

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.

A Yorkshire Dales route that includes a traverse of Blea Moor from Ribblehead. The return route follows a section of the Dales Way across Gayle Moor. The walk includes some unavoidable road walking.

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

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.

This is an easy circular walk from Malham, heading South to Kirkby Malham and then Airton. The walk up from Malham affords good views back to Malham Cove and the passes through varied farmland scenery. St Michael's Church at Kirkby Malham is worth a visit and the farm shop at Airton provides a good mid-walk stop for refreshments. The riverside path back provides further interest with views of Hanlith Hall, the old mill at Scalegill and Aire Head, which is the source of the River Aire.
