Thornton in Lonsdale walks

This route starts from Devil's Bridge, goes along River Lune before heading up to Radical Steps and through Kirkby Lonsdale village. Along the way, you will find welcoming benches.

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

Winder and Arant Haw are two hills included in this delightful walk from Sedbergh. The Howgill Fells are an integral part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park yet they display a unique character. The walking is good, the views superb and the paths quiet. Who could ask for more?

This route follows the path of the first quarter of the Lakes District Challenge 2022. It takes some parts of part of the Dales Way, magnificent views of Longsleddale, climbs up to Garburns Pass with views into Troutbeck and Windermere.

A walk of two halves, first half mainly uphill, second half mainly down-hill. Surface all gravel path or tarmac road so easy to follow and walk on. Note. I have since been told that there are two stiles on this route which are difficult to get over so please take this into account if you have any mobility problems, I personally didn't notice the issue at the time of the walk although I was able bodied at the time. Unfortunately due to an accident since I've not been able to return to this walk and it is possible that the stiles have deteriorated since.

A super walk with two contrasting parts. The first is the undulating ridge from Whinfell Beacon to Ashtead Fell, and the second is the delightful Borrowdale valley. It can be walked in either direction, and whilst described here from the parking on the East side of the valley, it can also be started from the parking on the West side.

A delightful circular walk which takes in a stretch of the Mallerstang Valley before heading up the Pennine Way and to the top of Wild Boar Fell. Returning along the green ridge to cross Little Fell and descending back to the remains of Pendragon Castle.

The Howgill Fells offer excellent walking with few other people sharing the landscape. This walk follows Bowderdale deep into the area before climbing steadily to the highest point in this group of fells. The return route offers grandstand views as you follow a lofty ridge back to the start.

This walk takes in some beautiful Bowland scenery, on a clear day you will get a great view of Pendle Hill.

An easy walk in scenic Swaledale, with an adventurous option to witness the austere beauty of Swinner Gill.
