A walk of two halves. The first part ascends gently on good tracks, passing the remains of the Old Gang Smelting Mill, before crossing the stream and crossing Melbecks Moor and passing the spoil heaps from the long ceased lead mining industry.

The return leg is on grassy paths which contour Brownsey Moor and pass through farmland, often following dry stone walls and passing working farms and traditional barns.

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.

This route is mostly on public Bridleways and moorland access tracks with a rough gravel surface with drainage channels crossing them. #WalkingWithWheels.
