Yorkshire Dales holiday
Kettlewell & Arncliffe circular
We started off following some sheep
but soon found we were going the wrong way and took the path up the
hill
Kettlewell was looking a long way down
a short narrow stony climb took us to some less sloping ground, though
we continued to climb
I took quite a few pictures here while the others rested
It was pretty clear across the valley - all the way to Great Whernside
Once we were on top the view was restricted until we started to come
down on the other side and see Littondale
I sat down by a patch of heather and waited for the others who were
resting some way behind
and we began the walk down towards Arncliffe
We were on a path below the top, but couldn't see any way down through
the footpath gate to Park Scar
so walked along further along which gave us better views of Arncliffe
and Cowside Beck
some better views of Arncliffe
Arncliffe Church is well hidden in the trees
We sat on a seat looking at this cross to eat our sandwiches
and it began to rain
By the time we left the church to walk beside the River Skirfare it
was pouring down. But fortunately the
heavy shower didn't last too long. Across the fields we could see
some crags
and there was a path that wasn't very inviting
The river goes around a huge bend here
Eventually we came to a couple of houses across the river on the outskirts
of Hawkswick
and a footbridge across the river
and wlaked along an empty road to Hawkswick
Here a path and a long climb took us back up onto the fell
with some good views down and across Littondale
and back down to Hawkswick
Eventually we could see into Wharfedale too
and se the crags at Kilnsey
We got a little lost on the top of the fell, as there is no path where
it is marked on the OS map, but kept walking through rough long gass
and ventually came to the gate and path which leads down through a disused
quarry site towards Kettlewell.
