    Wild Boar Fell ID: 283 Distance: 6.2 miles Height gain: 500 Metres Map: Explore OL 19 Contributor David and Chris Stewart Duration 3 Hours 20 Mins Features Birds, Great Views, Hills or Fells Description: Wild Boar Fell is a neglected classic on open access land on the southern edge of the Eden Valley, with stunning views to the Howgills, North Pennines, Yorkshire Dales and even Morecombe Bay. Though not as high as other fell tops, Wild Boar Fell feels like a proper hill. Although only a small part of the route is on a marked right of way, access to Wild Boar Fell has been possible for many years and it is now incorporated into open access land. A sheep track leads up beside a dry-stone wall with good views of Mallerstang Valley, crossing a limestone pavement. Then there's a short stretch of bridleway to the col and easy to follow paths to the trig point at the summit. From the summit it's across open fell, so in poor visibility your navigation skills need to be up to scratch. The route crosses Swarth Fell before cutting steeply down a grassy slope onto Aisgill Moor. You make your way across the moor (there is no clear path) to reach the road and your car. Mallerstang Valley is very popular with birdwatchers and railway enthusiasts, as the spot just above the car park is perfect for pictures of trains on the Settle - Carlisle railway making their way up the valley. Access info: The start can only really be reached by car, though Kirkby Stephen is on the Settle - Carlisle railway and you could make your way down the Mallerstang Valley on foot.

  • Great Walks from Garsdale (2) John Barnes
    Tales from DalesRail Great walks from Garsdale (2) John Barnes DalesRail may not be operating in 2020 but that doesn’t stop us sharing our many interesting experiences about our journeys. We hope you will share your interesting stories, favourite walks, fascinating anecdotes and pictures about DalesRail. Please send them to [email protected] or Simon Clarke at [email protected]. A walk around Grisedale Map: Ordnance Survey Explorer OL`19 – Howgill Fells & Upper Eden Valley Standing by Garsdale Station the prominent hill looking west is Baugh Fell with the cairns of Grisedale Pike visible at the near end. Below Grisedale Pike to the north is Grisedale, a remote valley lying beneath the heights of Swarth Fell. Grisedale featured in a Yorkshire documentary ‘The Dale That Died’ in 1975, a book to accompany the programme was produced by Barry Cockcroft. The Clough River has its source in Grisedale. Tributaries on Swarth Fell and Baugh Fell are collected into Grisedale Beck which continues as Clough River running through Grisedale Head and down Garsdale to join the River Rawthey near Gardsale Bridge. Some of the old farms in Grisedale have been refurbished and are lived in; many are in ruins such as Rowantree, East Scale where there is a Quaker burial ground, West Scale and Round Ing. Here is an easy walk of 8.5 miles which incudes an exploration of Grisedale and continues further by How Beck Bridge to follow the River Ure and on to Garsdale Station. The start of the walk at the very attractive Garsdale Station We begin at Garsdale Station and going north to Garsdale Head, cross the road and continue to Blake Mire.

  • Consett & Vale of Derwent Naturalists' Field Club Wild Boar Fell 29Th
    Consett & Vale of Derwent Naturalists’ Field Club Wild Boar Fell 29 th March 2014 Map :- Explorer OL19 ‘A’ Walk Leader :- Cyril Wilson assisted by Lewis Pilbrough Wild Boar Fell takes its name from the fact that wild boar used to roam in the valley. Tradition has it that the last boar was killed here in the 16th century. The walk up onto Wild Boar Fell began at Aisgill Farm ( SD773969 ) on the B6259 south of Kirkby Stephen. The path led west up under a viaduct of the Carlisle- Settle Railway, (built in 1876) and then north beside a wall onto Angerholme Wold. The area was dotted with fenced sink holes scattered across the limestone pavement We made a brief stop here among the limestone humps before continuing up the oblique path on Yoadcomb Hill to High Dolphinsty. Here we turned south along Scriddles ridge to the Nab with its view north-east across the valley to distant High Seat. The escarpment edge we were climbing along was of impermeable millstone grit. Sue and I ran up the slope in an effort to be first to the top. When we reached a cairn we realised we had not arrived at Wild Boar Fell; the trig point was further on. Moving across the marshy ground Sue beat me to the point. We all had our lunch round the shelter between 1300hrs and 1315hrs. Brian looked as if he was going to be blown away in the very strong wind. Wild Boar Fell at 2336ft asl. is at map ref. SD758988. We had covered 3.09 miles by then; most of it uphill and at times in mist.

  • 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.

  • Great Walks from Garsdale – Garsdale Head John Barnes
    Tales from DalesRail Great walks from Garsdale – Garsdale Head John Barnes DalesRail may not be operating in 2020 but that doesn’t stop us sharing our many interesting experiences about our journeys. We hope you will share your interesting stories, favourite walks, fascinating anecdotes and pictures about DalesRail. Please send them to [email protected] or Simon Clarke at [email protected]. A walk around Garsdale Head Map: Ordnance Survey Explorer OL`19 – Howgill Fells & Upper Eden Valley Garsdale is probably the most remote station on the line. Set in wild country where Garsdale has its junction with Wensleydale, there are fine views to the surrounding hills of Grisedale Pike, Swarth Fell, Wild Boar fell, Abbotside Common (Lunds Fell and Sails) and Mallerstang Edge can just be seen to the north. If as I do you like remote countryside with plenty of footpaths, lovely views, wild flowers and interesting history then this is the place for you, A popular walk from Garsdale Station is over the High Way to Kirkby Stephen (commonly called Lady Anne’s Walk because of its association with Lady Anne Clifford). To get to the High Way now, walkers most often use the Pennine Bridleway via Dandrymire Viaduct, Moorcock Inn and Cobbles Plantation to join the High Way at Johnston Gill. Before the Pennine Bridleway was laid down there were several route options which walkers would use to get to the High Way and some of these would pass through the old farm house of Shaws, this was a Youth Hostel until fairly recent times but is now in private ownership.
