St Mary’s Kettlewell James has also encouraged and enabled the four church congregations to come together as one, united Parish of Upper Wharfedale and Littondale, in order to secure the long term future of the Church in the upper dales.

James’ consideration for Hubberholme Church and sensitivity to the feelings and needs of others in all situations has been appreciated and will be remembered. At Kettlewell, his innovative midweek service of light, peace and thanksgiving, Sanctuary@6, has become the service of choice for many.

Soft rolling hills, limestone edges, green valleys with pristine waterfalls and an ancient abbey all feature in our walk here as well as the many interesting small market towns and villages proud of their heritage. Walk the whole length of the much loved Dales Way long distance path, which runs right across the Yorkshire Dales National Park to Cumbria, following pretty river valleys, many with small ravines and rapids patrolled by kingfishers, swans and other birds on the lookout for brown trout lurking in the water. You walk through Wharfedale (where there is time to admire the ruins of Bolton Abbey) and then to Hubberholme, gradually gaining height to reach the Pennine watershed at Cam Fell (1700 feet / 520 metres). The way runs down Dentdale to the town of Sedbergh and across pastures to Bowness on Windermere. Along the way there are many beautiful spots for picnics, charming traditional pubs for lunch or refreshments, and always the lovely scenery of the Yorkshire Dales. Cost from: $1410 twin share per person Single room supplement from $260 (limited, on request) Departs: Daily from late March to early October Starts: Ilkley, Yorkshire Ends: Bowness-on-Windermere, Lake District, Cumbria.

  • 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.

  • Wood End, Hubberholme Direction Was Given to Prevent Accidental Disturbance to the Local Water Supply
    Countryside and Rights of Way (CROW) Act 2000 REVIEW OF STATUTORY DIRECTION(S) – PROPOSED CHANGE TO EXISTING DIRECTION(S) SUMMARY FOR PUBLIC CONSULTATION Prepared by Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority 1. INFORMATION ABOUT THE PUBLIC CONSULTATION Access Authority: Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority Relevant Authority: Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority Local Access Forum: Yorkshire Dales Local Access Forum Original direction reference: 2004120016 Land Parcel Name: Details of restriction on original direction Direction to exclude the public from Wood End for a period of five years. The Wood End, Hubberholme direction was given to prevent accidental disturbance to the local water supply. The Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority has begun a review of the above long term direction in accordance with statutory guidance. A consultation has been held with statutory consultees and the general public that sought views on the existing direction. Under Part 1 (Chapter II, Sections 24) of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000, the applicant, applied for a direction, in 2005, to restrict access on open access land at Wood End, Hubberholme. The application requested the exclusion of all CROW access rights due to the possible risks of disruption and contamination of a water supply. The Relevant Authority (the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority) put in place a direction for the complete exclusion of CROW rights from the site for five years, from May 2005 to May 2010 inclusive. Due to the topography of the land, the vulnerability of the existing water supply infrastructure, and a predicted increase in access to the site, there was a strong possibility that disruption to the water supply could occur accidentally, causing significant disruption to the local community and businesses.

  • 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.

  • Yorkshire Weekender
    The Dales Way Association. PO Box 1065, Bradford, BD1 9JY. [email protected] www.dalesway.org.uk Newsletter Number 40 Autumn 2011 Editorial It has always been one of the aims of the Dales Way Association to eliminate road-walking as far as possible from the route of the Dales Way. One short section of minor, but busy road has exercised our minds for many years, the stretch from Sprint Bridge to Hall Lane, which leads into Burneside. The obvious solution would be a footpath over the wall on the south side of the road and parallel to it. In 2006 an attempt was made to create such a footpath, but nothing came of it. In 2010 Cumbria County Council started another initiative, but again, fifteen months later, no progress had been made. In August of this year the Association requested the help of Chris Holland, South Lakeland District Councillor. He responded within 48 hours and progress since then has been rapid. The land is owned by the Cropper Estate (Croppers also own the paper mill in Burneside). Chris has already had a meeting with Mr Cropper, who is sympathetic to our request, but he has not yet spoken to the tenant farmer at Burneside Hall, whose agreement would also be necessary. Chris and committee member Donald Holland have walked the proposed path in order to assess the cost of the gates and stiles required. The Dales Way Association has agreed to contribute to these costs and we thank Chris for his help and enthusiasm in moving to solve a 40 year old problem.
