  • 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.

  • Chapter 5 Study Area; Background, Description and Model Application
    79 Chapter 5 Study area; background, description and model application 5.1 Choice of field area The catchment of Cam Gill Beck, above Starbotton, Upper Wharfedale, Yorkshire UK, was selected for three reasons. Firstly, the Yorkshire dales are representative of much of the UK’s uplands, with relief, morphology and vegetation that are largely typical. Secondly, there are many well documented investigations of the hydrological and sedimentological history of the Yorkshire Dales (Coulthard et al;. 1996, 1998, 1999, Longfield; 1999, Merett and Macklin; 1998a , 1998b, 1999, Taylor and Macklin; 1998, Howard and Macklin; 1998, Howard et al; 1998, Black et al.; 1998, Martlew; 1998, White; 1998). Therefore, the Yorkshire Dales arguably now have the most comprehensive Holocene record of upland, piedmont and lowland fluvial activity in the UK. Finally, within this region Cam Gill Beck itself is ideal for numerical modelling, as it is a small catchment with a simple network morphology. This is important as it allows a rapid development and validation of the model. The catchment contains flood deposits dated to an extreme event in 1686, which appear relatively undisturbed, allowing easy validation as there has been limited re-working or subsequent deposition. Furthermore, the catchment is accessible, lies on private ground and remains relatively undisturbed, especially from recent land use practices such as gripping (moorland drainage). 5.2 Geology, physiography and history of the Yorkshire Dales The Yorkshire Dales are located in central northern England, north west of Leeds between the Peak District and Northern Pennines (Figure 5.1). They encompass a range of landscapes, with bleak peat-covered moorland plateaus, deeply entrenched glacial valleys, ancient settlements and steep limestone outcrops that contain some of the finest examples of karst landscape in the UK (Howard and Macklin 1998).

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.

LEEDS : JOSEPH DODGSON. MAY BE HAD ALSO FROM J . HORSFALL TURNER, IDEL, BRADFORD. 1885. WHARFEDALE is suggestive of,Preface I had almost said synonymous with, everything beautiful in nature. Its scenic beauty has been the theme of poets and artists, from the time the first poet or painter cast his eyes on the fair landscape. Wordsworth and Turner head the lists . It was very fitting that Farnley Hall, in this valley, should be graced with a superb collection of Turner's paintings . Every conceivable tint, in sky or tree, may be noticed from the windows at Farnley, and, passing upwards to Ilkley parish, we find rich meadows in the vale, luxuriant foliage in the highland dells, gushing fountains, sullen mountain streams, gurgling rills, roaring waterfalls, tumbling cataracts, and cheerful, sparkling river ; mountain grandeur, unscaleable precipices, stern, frowning rocks, heath-covered, sweet-scented moorland, musical with the song of bees, or enveloped in mist or snow. Seated on every variety of cliff and crag, the visitor here can feast his eyes and inhale the genial zephyrs, or face the bracing air on mountain top. Village scenes, charming country lanes, honest peasants, wholesome food, and all that makes a happy, contented country, abound .

  • Advisory Visit R. Wharfe, Kilnsey Angling Club 19/02/2018
    Advisory Visit R. Wharfe, Kilnsey Angling Club 19/02/2018 Key Findings: • The Wharfe and the Skirfare both have a naturally flashy flow regime because of the underlying geology, and this has been exacerbated by historic and ongoing land management and engineering of the channel. However, ecological status remains good and there is great potential to improve both instream and bankside habitat to support and promote the existing wild trout population(s). • Good quality riparian habitat comprising fringing trees and a diverse herb layer is found in patches on many of the Kilnsey beats, and hence provides an indication of what is possible elsewhere. Tree planting is being undertaken in some areas, and it could be extended considerably to maximise ecosystem benefits. • Livestock grazing and trampling is degrading the condition of the banks wherever there is free access. Installation of fencing is a key consideration, as well as monitoring and maintenance of that already in situ. • There is currently good access to several potential spawning tributaries, but these should be explored further upstream to better assess their contribution to wild fish population sustainability. White Beck and Black Keld are of particular interest but suffer from very different pressures. Cray Gill has already received considerable habitat improvement work. • The Yorkshire Dales Rivers Trust (YDRT) will be a good ally in habitat improvement work as the Upper Wharfe is a focal project area for them, working with the National Trust and Natural England on the SSSI
