In essence this route heads over Grinton Moor into Wensleydale, follows the valley westwards, then climbs Buttertubs and returns along Swaledale. Of course that means two long steep climbs and fast descents to cross the high moorland in between the valleys. 1. Pass down through Reeth and cross the river. Shortly after on the right is the Dales Bike Centre. The main road then goes sharp left by the Bridge Inn, but you turn right signed to Leyburn. 2. Climb steeply up, cross a cattle grid and continue on passing Grinton Youth Hostel. The road zig zags over a stream and continues to climb up on to the moorland passing a military area. At a crossroads go straight on and descend in to Leyburn. 3. Turn right as you enter town and go straight over at a mini-roundabout. Descend away from Leyburn on the A684, and then take the first road on the right after 1.5 miles signed Preston and Redmire. 4. Follow this road through to Redmire (short diversion to Bolton Castle) and continue on to Carperby. Another short diversion takes you to Aysgarth Falls. 5.

    BRITISH MINING No.48 MEMOIRS 1993 Barker, J.L. 1993 “The Mines of Downholme Moor and Thorpe Edge, Swaledale” British Mining No.48, NMRS, pp.22-30 Published by the THE NORTHERN MINE RESEARCH SOCIETY SHEFFIELD U.K. © N.M.R.S. & The Author(s) 1993. ISSN 0309-2199 BRITISH MINING No.48 THE MINES OF DOWNHOLME MOOR AND THORPE EDGE, SWALEDALE. by J.L. Barker The mining fields of Downholme and Thorpe Edge, although in pastoral lower Swaledale, provide a bleak and windy aspect for much of the year. Part of the moor lies within the Yorkshire Dales National Park and this offers an element of protection for the mining remains. The whole terrain is now controlled by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) as a military training area, but the nature of this training is such that what remains of the mining activity is almost completely undamaged other than by the elements. These areas represent a relatively small mining field compared with those in upper Swaledale. Much of the land was owned by Coverham Abbey until the monastery was dissolved in 1537. Eventually, Downholme Moor passed to Lord Bolton of Wensleydale and Thorpe Edge to D’Arcy Hutton of Marske. In 1927 Downholme Moor and Thorpe Edge were bought by the MoD from their respective owners. A further purchase of part of Downholme village was completed in 1931. Visual and documentary sources show that only four important veins were explored and these appear to be only a few hundred yards long. Most of the ore was mined in the Main Limestone and in the Richmond Cherts above.

    The Penhill Benefice Brochure

    The Penhill Benefice Brochure The Diocese of Leeds In this new diocese, less than three years old, we are working with three core objectives: . Confident Christians: Encouraging personal spiritual renewal with the aim of producing clergy and laity who are confident in God and in the Gospel. Growing Churches: Numerically, spiritually and in their mission to the wider world. Changing communities: For the better, through our partnership with other churches and faith communities, as well as government and third sector agencies. The Anglican Diocese of Leeds comprises five Episcopal Areas, each coterminous with an Archdeaconry. This is now one of the largest dioceses in the country, and its creation is unprecedented in the history of the Church of England. It covers an area of around 2,425 square miles, and a population of around 2,642,400 people. The three former dioceses were created in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to cater for massive population changes brought about by industrialisation and, later, mass immigration. The diocese comprises major cities (Bradford, Leeds, Wakefield), large industrial and post-industrial towns (Halifax, Huddersfield, Dewsbury), market towns (Harrogate, Skipton, Ripon, Richmond and Wetherby), and deeply rural areas (the Dales). The whole of life is here, along with all the richness, diversity and complexities of a changing world. The Diocesan Bishop (The Rt Rev’d Nick Baines) is assisted by five Area Bishops (Bradford, Huddersfield, Kirkstall, Wakefield and Ripon), and five archdeacons (Bradford, Halifax, Leeds, Pontefract, Richmond & Craven). The Bishop of Ripon is the Rt Rev’d Dr. Helen-Ann Hartley. Our vision as the Diocese is about confident clergy equipping confident Christians to live and tell the good news of Jesus Christ.

  • Castle Bolton, Wensleydale – Conservation Area Character Appraisal

    Castle Bolton, Wensleydale – Conservation Area Character Appraisal

    Castle Bolton, Wensleydale – Conservation Area Character Appraisal Designated – 30 November 1999 © Crown copyright, Yorkshire Dales NPA, Licence No. 100023740 2007 1. Introduction This character appraisal has been prepared as part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority’s Conservation Area Strategy. It has been drafted following four consultation meetings with residents of Castle Bolton in August and September 1999. 2. The location and setting of the village Situated high up on the north side of the wide, glaciated valley of Wensleydale, on the 240 metre contour, Castle Bolton nestles on gently sloping land immediately below the low scar of Ellerlands Edge. Breaking ground slopes away below the village to the south and extensive surrounding woodland plantations ensure that the village of Castle Bolton is not particularly prominent from distant views. Instead, the towering mass of the 14th Century Castle acts as an emblem of its presence, the special character of the village only being really appreciated from close to. Castle Bolton today is located away from the main communication routes through Wensleydale, being reached only via narrow country lanes. It sits on the eastern edge of the National Park, 1 kilometre north west of Redmire, with which it shares a history as an estate village, and 8 kilometres from the market town of Leyburn. 3. The historical origins and development of Castle Bolton The origins of Castle Bolton are, like many Dales villages, obscure. Place name evidence suggests a possible date for the first settlement in Anglo-Saxon times – “Bodle” meaning house or to build, and “Ton” meaning enclosure or settlement.
