Yorkshire Dales from the Vale to the Peak in God's Own County Telephone: +44 (0) 1722 322 652 Email: [email protected] England: Yorkshire Dales From the vale to the peak in God's Own County https://www.onfootholidays.co.uk/routes/england-yorkshire-dales/ page 1/10 Route Summary At a glance Yorkshire Dales 7-night option (6 days walking). The full version of the walk. Add extra nights (we recommend Ripon, Malham and Austwick) to ease you in, give you a rest in the middle and to celebrate the end. How much walking? Full days: 15-24 km per day, 3½-6½ hours walking Using shortening options: 10-15km per day, 2¼-4½ hours walking using ride-with-luggage transfers at the start of each day Max. Grade: This route, our third in England and our first in the north of the country, seeks to show walkers the two sides of Yorkshire’s rural heritage, and was designed by local residents and On Foot clients Shaun and Lynda Callaghan. Starting in the eastern lowlands, in the little cathedral “city” of Ripon, the first day takes you straight to one of the most important centres of medieval England, Fountains Abbey, which owned vast tracts of the county before Henry VIII decided that he would prefer them for himself and his barons. The setting of the Abbey is without parallel. The route then starts to climb, gradually at first, through the sheep country of the Dales (sheep were as important in medieval times as they became in the 18th century when they were the basis for Yorkshire’s industrial growth). Linking the pretty villages of Pateley Bridge, Burnsall, Hebden, Grassington and Kettlewell, your route reaches limestone country via justly famous Malham “Cove”, before traversing the market town of Settle to your destination, Austwick village, nestling in the dale below the gaunt massif of Ingleborough, one of Yorkshire’s “three peaks”, and your final challenge. Stay in country pubs and comfortable B&Bs, upgrading if you wish to smarter hotels, and eat well – the route boasts two French-chef-run establishments to supplement the hearty Yorkshire fare that will ensure you do not flag during these long days (though shortening options are available). page 2/10 Route Highlights ● Ripon and its cathedral ● Fountains Abbey, the northern masterpiece ● Yorkshire pudding and Gallic flair in quintessential pubs ● Drystone walls and unspoilt villages ● The “Cove” and cliff of Malham ● Caves, kilns and erratics ● The ascent of Ingleborough on your final day We Recommend Extra nights in Ripon and Austwick, and at Malham for an extra pretty walking circuit. Eating at French owned Clarendon Hotel in Hebden and the Gamecock (Austwick), or at the Kings Head in Kettlewell and the famous Traddock in Austwick (also available as upgrade accommodation) Grading Full days: 15-24 km per day, 3½-6½ hours walking Using shortening options: 10-15km per day, 2¼-4½ hours walking using ride-with-luggage transfers at the start of each day Clear paths in the main, though the signage lapses on occasions and so an understanding of maps, use of compass and close attention to the notes is sometimes needed. A walk for everyone courtesy of the (taxi) shortening options (see below). Medium-hard: Average cumulative uphill stretches (CUSs) 660m (300m-870m) per day. OR Medium: CUSs 414m (250m-525m) per day using shortening options where available and/or riding with luggage for part of walk each day (shortening rides included in price). GPX file available for handheld GPS or smartphone App for complete route. Important note: Times given for each day are walking times for an “average” walker and exclude stops. “CUSs” stands for “Cumulative Uphill Stretches” and measures the aggregated ascents in each day, expressed in metres of climb. See “Walk Grading” for more information. page 3/10 When to go The best months to walk: late April, October Other possible months: March, April, May, June, July, August, September Best walking is throughout the late spring, summer and early autumn, though be aware that during the summer holidays and weekends the hotels we use can be busy and accommodation less available - do note that a couple of hotels always request two night stays at weekends. Please note: date ranges shown are for a 'normal' year. While Covid-19 restrictions remain, please contact us to discuss your plans and availability. Itinerary Day 1 - Arrive in Ripon Check into your accommodation and have a good explore - the cathedral is a wonderful place to start and you will have fun finding the town square with its nightly horn call and choosing a restaurant for supper. Day 2 - Ripon to Pateley Bridge A pleasant day with two highlights – Fountains Abbey at the start and Brimham Rocks at lunchtime. The walk passes through a mixture of parkland, over babbling brooks and across typical Yorkshire drystone-wall-clad dales with views emerging the nearer that you draw to Nidderdale’s Pateley Bridge and a charming ‘panorama walk’ to end. (Medium-hard: 5¼ hrs, 20½ km, CUSs 580m or Medium: 4½ hrs, 16km, CUSs 470m with ride-with-luggage to Fountains Abbey at start (included) Day 3 - Pateley Bridge to Hebden Today’s walk takes you away from Nidderdale, and up on to the moor in the morning, with a fabulous (but optional) opportunity to bag Simon’s Seat before an easy rest-of-day downhill to walk alongside one of the iconic rivers of this area, the Wharfe. A long day of great variety. (Hard: 6½ hrs, 24¼ km, CUSs 870m, or Medium: ride-with-luggage start to Parcevall Hall gardens then walk the rest - 3 hrs, 11½ km, CUSs 490) Day 4 - Hebden to Kettlewell An easy walk, both in terms of terrain and navigation! Firstly, the pretty riverside walk to Grassington (you might see kingfishers en route). Spend time in this famously lovely village, before heading away from the River Wharfe for a few hours to walk on the Dales Way through a range of ancient landscapes – semi-moorland, remote dales and a beautifully-viewed descent to Kettlewell, nestling picturesquely in the Wharfe valley. (Easy-medium: 3½ hrs, 15 km, CUSs 300m) page 4/10 Day 5 - Kettlewell to Malham The highlights of Malham Tarn and Malham Cove must be on anyone’s list who visits Yorkshire, let alone walking a bit of the Pennine Way too! After a pleasant leg stretcher of an ascent and a couple of pretty riverside villages on the way, your route climbs via the Monk’s Path to the remote, wild landscape above Malham before a descent to the highest upland lake in England and on to walk on the extraordinary lunar landscape above the Cove, before a night in attractive, busy Malham village. (Medium-hard: 5½ hrs, 18½ km, CUSs 700m, or Easy-medium: 3¾ hrs, 14 km, CUSs 525m with ride-with-luggage start) Option If the weather is poor, or you would just like an easier day, take a taxi to Malham and do one of two easier walks in this lovely valley (these can also form the basis of an extra day and night spent at Malham, a good mid-route resting place). Day 6 - Malham to Austwick Lots to see today, and choices to be made too. First a sustained, but fairly gentle, climb out of Malham with a good view onto the Cove. Then a remote section with fine views opening up into the valley where Settle lies – and a choice: either to include some additional walking (extra 2.3km, CUSs 70m) and a sneak preview of Ingleborough – your final walk’s goal – or take a more direct route along the Dales High Way to Settle, and lunch. In the afternoon you walk alongside the River Ribble – either right next to it, or, for more interest, via a fascinating and extensive, lime kiln. Finally a delightful entrance through the fields into the little village of Austwick. (Medium-hard: 5hrs, 20¼ km, CUSs 680m, or ride-with-luggage to Settle, and walk the rest - easy-medium: 2½ hrs, 10½ kms, CUSs 250m) Option This could also be a day for a ride-with-luggage into Settle and a trip on the Settle-Carlisle railway line - best when they are running steam trains (needs to be pre-booked and is expensive!), but lovely even when not. The Ribblehead Viaduct is a classic of Victorian engineering. Timetables in your Walker's Pack! Day 7 - The Ingleborough circuit A fitting climax to your walk. Taking in either the ‘Norber erratics’ or a medieval clapper bridge (or both with diversion) the day takes you up onto a limestone pavement, over Beggar’s Stile and off along a route up the easiest approach to Ingleborough, perhaps the most iconic hill of the Three Peaks range. The return takes you past Gaping Gill sink hole, through Trow Gill gorge and offers Ingleborough Cave as a distraction en route to pretty Clapham village and a final wander through grassy fields back to Austwick, nestling in the landscape. (Hard: 6hrs, 19½ km, CUSs 820m, or easier option avoiding Ingleborough itself Medium: 3½ hrs, 14km, CUSs 450m) Option A couple of shorter, lower circuits around Austwick village are also offered, taking in a clapper bridge, and Clapham Village (lunch here seems right!), or just laze at your accommodation with a good book... we recommend an extra night here if you want to do everything! page 5/10 Travel Information ARRIVING BY AIR The best “local” airport is either Leeds-Bradford or Manchester. Intercontinental flights use Manchester or one of the London airports. Please contact us for transfer advice in view of the options available.

    About The Red Lion... A Warm Family Welcome Before the bridge was built, the buildings where the Red Lion now stands were situated on a ford across the River Wharfe. When the river was in spate, these buildings offered refuge & temporary lodgings to those who could not cross. In the 16th Century, the permanent buildings you see now began to arise and the Ferryman’s Inn orignally entitled ‘Bridge Tavern’ became the beautiful country Inn which is now the Red Lion. Bought by Elizabeth & Andrew Grayshon in 1991, The Red Lion & Manor House has now passed into the capable hands of their four daughters - Sarah, Victoria, Katy & Eleanor, who, with their husbands & families, continue to provide visitors with the same service that has kept the Red Lion as one of the most popular destinations in the Dales. • Breathtaking scenery • Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty • Grade II listed building Stay A While... The Manor House & Red Lion Holiday Cottages In addition to the rooms in the Red Lion, we have 11 B&B rooms in the Manor House - a charming Victorian property 150 yards away - and 4 holiday cottages. Perfect for overnight accommodation, the Manor House bedrooms are modern but simple most having lovely views of the River Wharfe and village. Perched on the banks of the River Wharfe, the 4 Riverside holiday cottages have quirky ‘upside down’ living accommodation; double & twin bedrooms on the ground floor; kitchen, dining and sitting rooms on the first floor with views down the river and to the fell. The kitchens are complete with quality appliances including a dishwasher, fridge/freezer, washing machine and microwave.

Also, Melanie, a big thank-you for taking on this important position. And also, of course, many thanks to her predecessor, Toni, for all his excellent, award-winning work over so many years. After a generally disappointing start to the season with several meets having to be cancelled, it’s now encouraging to note that the vast improvement to the weather has enabled us to get those vans out and things seem to be in full swing. I was hugely disappointed therefore that health concerns led me to cry off attending the Festival of Walking and Cycling – I actually got as far as Wakefield! – especially, as from all accounts it was an extremely enjoyable and successful event. Congratulations and thanks to all in Northern Area who were involved in its planning and its running. You even managed to arrange fantastic weather! I wrote in our last edition about the need to ensure we have enough volunteers to fill essential positions and it’s therefore heartening to know that Peakland and Northern Areas, and the Section itself, achieved a full complement.

  • Ripon Fragments
    1 Introduction Medieval manuscripts survive in varying degrees of completeness. This is a study of the most vestigial survivors of medieval manuscript culture, the leaves from books which were dismembered during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and re-used to strengthen the bindings of early modern books. The focus of the study will be the fragments of medieval manuscripts preserved in a specific collection of books that belong to Ripon Cathedral Library. The aim of the study is to investigate the history of the fragments, using an appropriate methodology to hypothesise (if not establish) which manuscripts they were disbound from, and in which printed books they were recycled in the cases where they are no longer preserved in situ. The books of Ripon Cathedral Library have been held on long-term deposit in the Brotherton Library at Leeds University since 1980. The library of Ripon Cathedral was founded at the beginning of the seventeenth century. The nucleus of its collection was the bequest of Anthony Higgin, Dean of Ripon Cathedral.1 The physical components of this remarkable collection of early printed books reveal a hidden library of fragments that were once leaves of medieval manuscripts before being used as pastedowns and binding strips to strengthen the bindings. Since a nameless visitor to Ripon Cathedral started sorting and identifying the fragments in the 1920s, much work has been carried out, but much remains to be done. This dissertation will contribute to our understanding of the fragments by focusing on their relationship with the bindings in which they have been preserved. Determining the provenance of a binding and of an isolated scrap of text is far from straightforward, and the problems and challenges of identifying and interpreting fragments will be explored in a series of case studies.

  • Clapham Parish Wills and Inventories 1541 – 1603
    Clapham Parish Wills and Inventories 1541 – 1603 A Clapham Village History Project 2016 - 2018 The further backward you can look, the further forward you can see (W.S.Churchill) INTRODUCTION This project was funded by Stories in Stone, a scheme of conservation and community projects concentrated on the Ingleborough area. The scheme was developed by the Ingleborough Dales Landscape Partnership, led by Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust, and supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund. A group of volunteers, brought together in 2016 by Ken Pearce, Sheila Gordon, Mary Slater and Michael Slater, made digital images of wills and inventories for the ancient parish of Clapham, North Yorkshire, for transcription and analysis. This parish comprised Austwick, Clapham, Feizor, Lawkland, Newby and Newby Cote. Clapham ancient parish was chosen as collections of wills and inventories for neighbouring ancient parishes Giggleswick, Horton-in-Ribblesdale and Ingleton have already been made. An eventual comparative study of all of these records will be of value; this report considers the wills and inventories separately to make valid comparisons with other parishes easier. The documents relevant to this work are held at the Lancashire Record Office (LRO) in Preston, Lancashire. The LRO staff have been most obliging and helpful. Corrections have been made to the LRO catalogue where names of testators were incorrectly recorded. Some of the documents were in such a delicate, fragmented and unreadable state that they were not photographed. The digitising of the documents was carried out with equipment provided by Capturing the Past - a Stories in Stone project training volunteers to catalogue and digitise local archives.
