  • Openaccesswalk-Upperwharfedale
    Horsehead and Birks Fell Open Access walk offers a diversity of landscape – from riverside and wooded pathways in the valley bottoms, to open moorland – and has rewarding views of The Three Peaks of Yorkshire and a bird’s eye view of Upper Wharfedale. Start: Buckden National Park car park (GPS: SD 942 773) Distance: 17km (10.5 miles) Highest point: 610m Time: Allow 5 to 7 hours Grade: Difficult Notes: There is a car park and toilets at the start point, and a pub at Hubberholme. The route has sections on open moorland with no obvious path, so a map and navigational skills are essential. There are a few short sections on quiet roads where care should be taken, and the route is wet and boggy in places, especially in the peat land areas. 1. (GPS: SD 942 773) Walk out of the car park past the toilets and cross the road. Cross the village green and turn right along the road. Walk along here for 200m. 2. (GPS: SD 939 773) Take the footpath on your right for the Dales Way and follow the riverside path until you reach the road. Keep your eyes open for Kingfishers and Dippers along here. 3. (GPS: SD 932 779) Turn right here and follow the road to Hubberholme. 4. (GPS: SD 926 782) Go over the river bridge opposite the pub and follow the road past the church. Pass through the small farm yard in front of you, continuing to follow signs for the Dales Way, which leads you along the riverside path to Yockenthwiate.

  • Traditional Farm Buildings Survey
    National Character Area 21 Yorkshire Dales Summary The Yorkshire Dales is a large scale upland landscape of high moorland, dissected by often deep dales, which forms part of the Pennine uplands running up the centre of Northern England. It is separated from the North Pennines by the Stainmore Trough faults and from the more industrialised South Pennines by the Craven Faults. Just 0.3% of the area is urban, 4% is woodland, and 26% is upland grazing. 71% of the area falls within the Yorkshire Dales National Park and 17% within the Nidderdale AONB. 30% of the area is designated as SSSI. The key farmstead characteristics are: Landscape and Settlement $! !"#$%&'(!)*!+&,-(.%(/!.+/!/#01('0(/!0(%%-(2(+%3!(0%.4-#05(/!#+!%5(!2(/#(6.-!1('#)/!.+/!-.%('3!0(%!#+!.!-.+/0,.1(! with a long history of enclosure. $! !7#85!/(+0#%9!)*!*.'20%(./0!.+/!*#(-/!4.'+0!#+!%5(!-.+/0,.1(:!;5(!5#85(0%!/(+0#%#(0!.'(!,)22)+-9!.00),#.%(/!<#%5! small-scale fields in the pastoral upper dales, and the miner-farmer landscapes of the northern dales.

  • The Dales Way Guided Trail
    The Dales Way Guided Trail Tour Style: Guided Trails Destinations: Yorkshire Dales & England Trip code: MDLDD Trip Walking Grade: 4 HOLIDAY OVERVIEW The Dales Way was one of the earliest "unofficial" long distance routes. For most of its 79 miles it shuns the craggy tops and summit ridges to keep to the valley bottoms. It is, in essence, a riverside route linking existing rights of way to cross the Yorkshire Dales in a south-east to north-west direction. It connects the urban fringe of Ilkley to the shores of Windermere by way of Wharfedale, Dentdale and Eastern Lakeland. Wildlife is rich and varied: rivers provide habitat for a wide range of birds and the Wharfe is noted for its trout, often seen leaping out of the water on summer days. WHAT'S INCLUDED • High quality en-suite accommodation in our country house • Full board from dinner upon arrival to breakfast on departure day • The services of an HF Holidays' walks leader • All transport on walking days www.hfholidays.co.uk PAGE 1 [email protected] Tel: +44(0) 20 3974 8865 HOLIDAYS HIGHLIGHTS • The complete Dales Way from Ilkley to Bowness • Meander through beautiful Yorkshire Dales scenery • Stay at Newfield Hall, Malhamdale TRIP SUITABILITY This Guided Walking/Hiking Trail is graded 4 which involves walks /hikes over long distances in remote countryside and rough terrain. Sustained ascents and descents and occasional sections of scree and some steep ground are encountered. You will require a good level of fitness as you will be walking every day. It is your responsibility to ensure you have the relevant fitness and equipment required to join this holiday.

  • Univ Online Catalogues
    1 UNIV ONLINE CATALOGUES UC:E4 The Rectory of Arncliffe, Yorkshire, 14 th -20 th centuries Arncliffe is a village in North Yorkshire, situated about fifteen miles north of Skipton, in the remote area of Littondale. The ecclesiastical parish of Arncliffe comprised several villages in Littondale in addition to Arncliffe itself, namely Halton Gill, Hawkswick, Litton as well as some others in neighbouring Wharfedale, namely Buckden, Hubberholme and Yockenthwaite. High hills separate the two dales, and access was not always easy in winter. In addition to the main church at Arncliffe, there were also chapels at Halton Gill and Hubberholme, although the former was of little consequence before a major rebuilding in 1848. The advowson of Arncliffe was in the gift of the Percy family, the Earls of Northumberland, until Henry Percy, second Earl of Northumberland (1394–1455), gave it to University College in 1443. He also arranged for the appropriation of the rectory (and with it the right to collect the rector’s tithes) to pass to University College, in return for their appointing a vicar to the parish. The reason for Percy’s generosity is not known: Antony Wood suggested that the university had suggested he benefit a College which, as well as being the oldest in Oxford, also had strong north-eastern links (see W. Carr, University College , p. 62), but that may be mere guesswork. Percy certainly expected the north-east to benefit from his gift: as set out in UC:E4/2D/1 below, the money from the tithes was to finance three Bachelors or Masters planning to read theology from the dioceses of Durham, Carlisle or York, with special preference to be given to candidates from Northumberland.

    1 Restored Cupola Smelt Mill chimney on Grassington Moor on Grassington Cupola Smelt Mill chimney Restored LCA 17 South East Gritstone Uplands Yorkshire Dales National Park Landscape Character Assessment YORKSHIRE DALES NATIONAL PARK LANDSCAPE CHARACTER ASSESSMENT LANDSCAPE CHARACTER AREAS 2 LCA 17 South East Gritstone Uplands Key characteristics • Elevated gritstone moorland plateau of gently rounded hills with occasional stepped slopes overlooking parts of Wharfedale and Coverdale, with a series of outlying hills to the west • Gritstone crags and screes often punctuate the rounded landform; some pronounced lumpy knolls in the south of the area and conical peaks on Flasby Fell. In areas of deep drift deposits frequent erosion gullies give hillside slopes a ribbed appearance • Steep-sided rocky gills cut through the gritstone, exposing underlying limestones and forming small waterfalls where rock ledges are crossed. Streams are shallow and rocky with steep, eroded sides of grass/heather covered banks, broadening to small rocky rivers at lower elevations • Landcover is primarily acid grassland with extensive areas of upland heath on Barden Moor and the eastern fringes of the plateau • Tree cover is often absent from the open moors, with scattered oak, mountain ash and birch on lower slopes or contained within sheltered gills. Linear stands of alder line watercourses at lower elevations. Conifer plantations are prominent and often blocky and intrusive in the northern and southern edges of the plateau fringe and on the slopes of the outlying hills • Artificial reservoirs are a feature of Appletreewick Moor, Winterburn Moor and Barden Moor • Settlement is sparse primarily comprising farmsteads along road corridors, and also around reservoirs and on the dales fringes.
