The Itinerary It is possible to start the walk in any of these villages, the itinerary below begins in Aysgarth which is the traditional start and end point for people walking the Herriot Way. Day 1 (Sun) – Arrive in Aysgarth Arrive at your accommodation in the small village of Aysgarth. Arrive via your own transport or use the local public transport. Overnight in Aysgarth Day 2 (Mon) – Aysgarth to Hawes 16.3 km (10.1 miles), 5-6 hours walking, 125m ascent / 125m descent Follow the River Ure through beautiful Wensleydale as you meander through fields and alongside the river to the village of Askrigg, where the James Herriot TV series was filmed, take the chance to enjoy a bite to eat before reaching Mill Beck Falls. Continuing through the valley you will pass small villages where farming still dominates the landscape, all whilst towards Hawes, home of the famous Wensleydale Cheese factory, plus plenty of tea rooms and pubs to explore. Overnight in Hawes Day 3 (Tues) – Hawes to Keld 20 km (13 miles), 6 - 7 hours walking, 800m ascent / 750m descent This is probably the hardest day of the route, start by heading to the village of Hardraw and the chance to see the highest single drop waterfall in England. After which you climb out of Wensleydale reaching the top of Great Shunner Fell, the third highest summit in Yorkshire with spectacular panoramas of the surrounding hills and across to the Lake District. The descent leads into Swaledale and the quaint village of Thwaite where a potential coffee or late lunch break can be had in one of the tearooms. From Thwaite is another climb, shorter this time but no less impressive, onto the side of the valley above the River Swale and onto the hamlet of Keld. Overnight in Keld Day 4 (Weds) – Keld to Reeth High level Option – 17.6 km (10.9 miles), 5 - 6 hours walking, 450m ascent / 575m descent Skirting the edge of the valley, from Keld you will head towards Gunnerside Moor with stunning views down the Swaledale Valley towards your next destination of Reeth. This landscape is steeped in history from the lead mining that once took place, keep an eye out for the remains of this industry that you will find scattered across the moorland. You are actually walking a section of the Coast to Coast path for today, after undulating across the tributaries of the Swale, an easy descent brings you to Reeth. Perched on the side of the valley the village is home to a lively farmers market each Friday and boasts some fine views down the valley. Low level option – 19km (12 miles), 5 – 6 hours walking, 100m ascent / 225m descent A good option if the weather is bad as the route stays in the valley following the River Swale through the village of Gunnerside. Whilst a longer day the path is easy to follow and what ascent there is to do is easy and short. Overnight in Reeth Day 5 (Thurs) – Reeth to Aysgarth 15.9 km (9.9 miles), 5 - 6 hours walking, 450m ascent / 450m descent Head through the village of Grinton and a climb up onto Greets Hill, and the open moorland with impressive views across the north of the Yorkshire Dales. From here the path will drop down towards Apedale and Dents House, a welcome rest in poor weather. After leaving Apedale you will drop to the village of Castle Bolton where the remains of a beautiful medieval castle lie and the chance to enjoy a lunch in the café before exploring the castle remains. The route then completes the loop as you head back to Aysgarth passing the falls along the route. Overnight in Aysgarth Accommodation Most of the accommodation that you will stay in has been handpicked and are family run B&B’s or country pubs. We endeavour to provide en suite accommodation however in some more remote locations accommodation is limited and therefore we may have to book rooms with shared bathrooms.

Please let us know the dates you would like to book as soon as possible as we need to contact all the chosen accommodation for availability at each stage of the route. If you require a single or twin room, please also try and book early as these tend to be quite limited and therefore sell out quickly. In the case of unavailability for some of your chosen accommodation we will endeavour to find suitable and an equivalent standard of accommodation.

Arriving to the Yorkshire Dales by Public Transport There are no train routes into any of the villages along the Herriot Way. The most convenient stations are either Northallerton on the London to Edinburgh line or Garsdale on the Leeds-Settle-Carlisle line. From these stations there would then need to be either a bus ride or taxi ride to your first nights stay. From Northallerton there are buses to Aysgarth however 2 changes would be needed, and a taxi ride will be approximately 50 minutes. From Garsdale again there is a bus to Aysgarth with a change in Hawes and a taxi would take approximately 35 minutes. “Your Own Risk” Your self-guided “Yorkshire Dales Explorer – The Herriot Way” holiday will be spent entirely at your own risk and it is important that you understand that whilst the route notes are accurate at the time of writing, the situation on the ground may change and this itinerary relies on your sound judgement and decision making throughout. Our self-guided “Yorkshire Dales Explorer – The Herriot Way” has been organised so that you might enjoy a route and associated accommodation you may not otherwise have discovered having organised the itinerary yourself. It represents nothing more than the opportunity to go out on a beautiful walk in a part of this wonderful walking area, with the support of knowing that many of the logistics have been arranged for you. It is a fact that walking can and is associated with personal injury and death. By coming to such areas, you are exposing yourself and your party to the possibility of personal injury or even death.

The property is approached from a private driveway to the south side of the B6260 Richmond to Reeth Road approximately 8 miles from Richmond, 3 miles from Reeth and 2 miles from Grinton. Description Swale Farmhouse is a Grade 2 listed traditional stone built farmhouse under a stone slate roof believed to date from the 18th Century with later 19th Century alterations.

  • Draft LGAP Your Dales Rocks Project
    i ii The ‘Your Dales Rocks Project’ – A Draft Local Geodiversity Action Plan (2006-2011) for the Yorkshire Dales and the Craven Lowlands The Yorkshire Dales and Craven Lowlands have a diverse landscape that reflects the underlying geology and its history. The auditing and protection of this geodiversity is important to help preserve the landscape and the underlying geology. It is also important to help integrate the needs of the local population, education, recreation and science with quarrying and the National need for aggregate. This draft Action Plan sets out a framework of actions for auditing, recording and monitoring the geodiversity of the Dales and Craven lowlands. As its title indicates, it is a draft and subject to change as comments are made and incorporated. The implementation of the Action Plan is also dependent on funding becoming available. For this draft, the North Yorkshire Geodiversity Partnership is particularly thankful for the support of the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund from the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, administered by English Nature, and the Landscape, Access and Recreation side of the Countryside Agency. It is also very grateful to the organisations of the authors and steering group listed below (and whose logos appear on the front cover) that have invested staff time and money to make this draft Action Plan a reality. Over time, the plan will evolve and Adrian Kidd, the project officer (address below) welcomes suggestions and comments, which will help to formulate the final
