These combine with shallow soil cover, shakeholes, potholes and caves to form classic karst landscape. • Panoramic views across the southern dales and southern dales fringes. In the western part of the area views are dominated by the Three Peaks landforms of Ingleborough, Whernside and Pen-y-ghent. Vertical limestone • Closely grazed, springy, flower-rich grasslands form a neat, bright green carpet between exposed rock features. cliffs at Kilnsey • Scattered trees or open, grazed woodland on scree slopes and cliffs, with occasional windblown trees or shrubs in Crag, Wharfedale ... cliffs and pavements at higher levels. Several large, semi-natural, undergrazed woodlands occur on the dale sides and a few, small, isolated plantations at higher elevations. • A general absence of streams and surface water features, with the exception of occasional small tarns and limited numbers of springs at the base of the limestone moors, mainly around Ingleborough.

    Wild Boar Fell ID: 283 Distance: 6.2 miles Height gain: 500 Metres Map: Explore OL 19 Contributor David and Chris Stewart Duration 3 Hours 20 Mins Features Birds, Great Views, Hills or Fells Description: Wild Boar Fell is a neglected classic on open access land on the southern edge of the Eden Valley, with stunning views to the Howgills, North Pennines, Yorkshire Dales and even Morecombe Bay. Though not as high as other fell tops, Wild Boar Fell feels like a proper hill. Although only a small part of the route is on a marked right of way, access to Wild Boar Fell has been possible for many years and it is now incorporated into open access land. A sheep track leads up beside a dry-stone wall with good views of Mallerstang Valley, crossing a limestone pavement. Then there's a short stretch of bridleway to the col and easy to follow paths to the trig point at the summit. From the summit it's across open fell, so in poor visibility your navigation skills need to be up to scratch. The route crosses Swarth Fell before cutting steeply down a grassy slope onto Aisgill Moor. You make your way across the moor (there is no clear path) to reach the road and your car. Mallerstang Valley is very popular with birdwatchers and railway enthusiasts, as the spot just above the car park is perfect for pictures of trains on the Settle - Carlisle railway making their way up the valley. Access info: The start can only really be reached by car, though Kirkby Stephen is on the Settle - Carlisle railway and you could make your way down the Mallerstang Valley on foot.

Since the Club has just embarked on its second century, your committee deemed this a suitable time to launch this venture. The main aim of The Yorkshire Rambler will be to reflect fully the activities of the Club and the members, but, above all, to provide a 'good read'. The success or failure of the bulletin will depend on everyone taking the trouble to put pen to paper to let us know about any activity, or indeed any snippet of information, that will be of interest to members.

A walk around Grisedale Map: Ordnance Survey Explorer OL`19 – Howgill Fells & Upper Eden Valley Standing by Garsdale Station the prominent hill looking west is Baugh Fell with the cairns of Grisedale Pike visible at the near end. Below Grisedale Pike to the north is Grisedale, a remote valley lying beneath the heights of Swarth Fell. Grisedale featured in a Yorkshire documentary ‘The Dale That Died’ in 1975, a book to accompany the programme was produced by Barry Cockcroft. The Clough River has its source in Grisedale. Tributaries on Swarth Fell and Baugh Fell are collected into Grisedale Beck which continues as Clough River running through Grisedale Head and down Garsdale to join the River Rawthey near Gardsale Bridge. Some of the old farms in Grisedale have been refurbished and are lived in; many are in ruins such as Rowantree, East Scale where there is a Quaker burial ground, West Scale and Round Ing. Here is an easy walk of 8.5 miles which incudes an exploration of Grisedale and continues further by How Beck Bridge to follow the River Ure and on to Garsdale Station.

  • Dent to Aye Gill Pike This Rewarding Walk Has Spectacular Views of the Howgill Fells (Below), the Three Peaks of Yorkshire, and Dentdale
    Dent to Aye Gill Pike This rewarding walk has spectacular views of the Howgill Fells (below), the Three Peaks of Yorkshire, and Dentdale. Start: Dent car park (GPS: SD 703 871) Distance: 10.5km (6.5 miles) Highest point: 556m (Aye Gill Pike summit) Time: Allow 3 to 4 hours Grade: Difficult Notes: This route has sections with no obvious path, so a map and navigational skills are required. There are short sections on quiet roads where care should be taken, and the route can be boggy in places. There are toilets, a village shop, café and pubs in Dent. Other options: For a more challenging experience, follow this route in the opposite direction, beginning with the very steep climb up to Aye Gill Pike. 1. (GPS: SD 704 870) Turn left out of the car park and walk through the cobbled village centre. Leave the village on this road and pick up the riverside path for the Dales Way on your left, just before the river Dee. Follow this path until you reach the tarmac road. 2. (GPS: SD 700 873) Turn right along the road and pick up the Dales Way again on your right, continuing along the river to the road at Barth Bridge. 3. (GPS: SD 694 878) At the road turn right. Walk along here for a short distance (approx 150m) and turn up the small tarmac lane on your right. Continue along this quiet lane for approximately 1km, until reaching Lunds Farm. 4. (GPS: SD 694 887) At the entrance to Lunds Farm turn left and continue through the cobbled yard.

  • Consett & Vale of Derwent Naturalists' Field Club Wild Boar Fell 29Th
    Consett & Vale of Derwent Naturalists’ Field Club Wild Boar Fell 29 th March 2014 Map :- Explorer OL19 ‘A’ Walk Leader :- Cyril Wilson assisted by Lewis Pilbrough Wild Boar Fell takes its name from the fact that wild boar used to roam in the valley. Tradition has it that the last boar was killed here in the 16th century. The walk up onto Wild Boar Fell began at Aisgill Farm ( SD773969 ) on the B6259 south of Kirkby Stephen. The path led west up under a viaduct of the Carlisle- Settle Railway, (built in 1876) and then north beside a wall onto Angerholme Wold. The area was dotted with fenced sink holes scattered across the limestone pavement We made a brief stop here among the limestone humps before continuing up the oblique path on Yoadcomb Hill to High Dolphinsty. Here we turned south along Scriddles ridge to the Nab with its view north-east across the valley to distant High Seat. The escarpment edge we were climbing along was of impermeable millstone grit. Sue and I ran up the slope in an effort to be first to the top. When we reached a cairn we realised we had not arrived at Wild Boar Fell; the trig point was further on. Moving across the marshy ground Sue beat me to the point. We all had our lunch round the shelter between 1300hrs and 1315hrs. Brian looked as if he was going to be blown away in the very strong wind. Wild Boar Fell at 2336ft asl. is at map ref. SD758988. We had covered 3.09 miles by then; most of it uphill and at times in mist.
