GRASSINGTON – MALHAM MOOR Start and finish Grassington National Park Centre car park. SE002 638 Distance 17km (10 miles) Toilets At the start Pubs and cafes Grassington, Kilnsey Nearest train station Skipton but its 10 miles off This all weather route takes you up a quiet back road up Wharfedale to Kilnsey with its impressive climbing crag. You then start up Mastiles Lane before heading off across Malham Moor on a mixture of grass track and high quality purpose built trail. The final section through the mine workings of Threshfield Moor is a superb descent on a rough gritstone track. ROUTE DESCRIPTION 1. Turn left out of the car park and where the road goes left, go straight on by the sweet shop signed to Upper Wharfedale Cricket Club. Follow this quiet road through to Conistone. Turn left in the village and cross the River Wharfe to a T- junction with the B6160. 2. Turn right, go past the Trout fishery and then turn left. Climb up this road, cross a cattle grid to reach a track to the left signed to Malham Tarn. This is Mastiles Lane, and you follow this stone track up a short climb to an even shorter descent. 3. Take the bridleway to the left here. This climbs on a mixture of grass and limestone rocks and is a real challenge to clean a route. The grass track continues up over Green Haw Hill with the odd marker post to keep you on track. Cross a tarmac road and continue on to a short section of walled lane. Then take the path to on the right on an improved track. This climbs a few steps and enters a second walled lane. 4. At the end of the walled lane, cross a stream and carry straight on to reach a sign posted junction. Turn left and follow a final section of improved path to reach a classic rocky track descent. Follow this down through a couple of gates to reach a final gate and the start of a wide walled stone track. 5. Down this for 400m and where the tarmac starts, turn left to continue down a rough track. At the T-junction turn right and follow tarmac road out to reach the B6160. Turn right, then left back to Grassington. For more routes see www.mtbthedales.org.uk .

Threshfield Quarry Circuit
This walk description is from happyhiker.co.uk Threshfield Quarry Circuit Starting point and OS Grid reference Skirethorns Lane, Threshfield - Wide entrance road to Threshfield Quarry (SDS 982639) Ordnance Survey map OL2 Yorkshire Dales – Southern and Western area. Distance 5.3 miles Date of Walk 8 June 2015 Traffic light rating Introduction: If the title of “Threshfield Quarry Circuit” does not inspire you to expect much of a walk, put your prejudice to one side and prepare for a really pleasant surprise. I had the same reservations, until a friend took me on the walk. In fact this is a delightful, easy route along well defined paths/tracks with some stunning views. These include a sweeping vista of Wharfedale, views to Rylstone Ridge, Sharp Haw and Rough Haw and Pendle Hill plus attractive limestone outcrops. The quarry itself provides a dramatic finale of staggering dimensions. Quarrying here has clearly been going on for a long time. 15th and 16th century monastic records refer to lime kilns at Kilnsey and Threshfield but this site began in earnest in 1902. It ceased production in 2000. There are all sorts of plans currently afoot to develop the quarry. These include a visitor and exhibition centre, business space and wildlife haven. This will be a long lasting project, full details of which have yet to be finalised. The walk starts from the entrance to the quarry on Skirethorns Lane at Threshfield where there is a very wide area where you can park safely. To get there, take the B6160 NW from Threshfield (near Grassington).

Faecal Bacteria Data from Samples Collected on the 24Th August 2020
Faecal bacteria data from samples collected on the 24th August 2020 iWHARFE Improving water quality on the River Wharfe from Oughtershaw to the Ouse A citizen science project Faecal bacteria data from samples collected on the 24th August 2020 iWharfe is a citizen science project. It involves members of communities along the Wharfe valley, working together with the Environment Agency, Yorkshire Water and other agencies. It is funded by local donations and grants. The project was designed to provide a snapshot of water quality condi- tions along the entire length of the river on a single day and to raise awareness about water quality issues both for people and wildlife. Water samples were collected on the 24th August 2020. Here we report on results from samples analysed for faecal bacteria, the organisms in wastewater that cause gastro-intestinal illness. Executive Summary 1. The R. Wharfe “Big Health Check” on the 24th August 2020 involved five teams of citizen scien- tists taking water samples from 60 sites along the R. Wharfe at approximately the same time on the same day. 2. Although riverflow was relatively high, conditions were similar along the full length of the river. 3. Samples for faecal bacteria analysis were stored in cool boxes and hand-delivered to a collection point in Wakefield. They were analysed for E. coli and Intestinal Enterococci (IE) at ALS Ltd Cov- entry, an accredited microbiology laboratory, within 24 hours of sampling. 4. The results showed high concentrations of both E. coli and IE at sites between Buckden and Barden Bridge in Upper Wharfedale and at Beanlands Island in Ilkley, relatively low concentra- tions in Langstrothdale and in the stretch from Bolton Abbey to Ilkley Suspension Bridge, and var- iable concentrations downstream from Burley to the Ouse confluence at Cawood.

Explore Upper Wharfedale
SWALEDALE Buckden UPPER CUMBRIA UPPER WENSLEYDALE WHARFEDALE LOWER WENSLEYDALE Horton Kettlewell UPPER RIBBLESDALE WHARFEDALE Stainforth MALHAMDALE Grassington Settle LOWER WHARFEDALE Explore Upper Wharfedale History and archaeology of Upper Wharfedale Upper Wharfedale is a classic u-shaped glacial valley. When the last glacier melted it briefly left behind a lake. Even today, the valley bottom is prone to flooding and in the past, the marshy ground meant that there were limited bridging points and that roads had to run along the valley sides. The settlement pattern today consists mostly of valley based villages situated at the foot of side valleys. There are few isolated farmsteads. The earliest evidence for people in the dale are the numerous flint weapons and tools that have been collected over the years as chance finds. There is also a much-mutilated Neolithic round barrow. The valley sides and tops have been farmed extensively since at least the Bronze Age. The area is notable for the survival of vast prehistoric and Romano-British farming landscapes, from tiny square ‘Celtic’ fields for growing crops to huge co-axial field systems running in parallel lines up to the top of the valley sides, probably used for farming cattle and sheep. Bronze Age burial cairns are another feature of the landscape. There are few clues about life in the dale just after the Roman period. A 7th century AD female burial near Kettlewell and the chance find of an Anglo-Saxon reliquary shows a continuing spiritual life while Tor Dyke at the entrance to Coverdale above Kettlewell is evidence for the early establishment of territorial boundaries.

Yorkshire Dales Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment 1 2 3 White Paper , Biodiversity 2020 and the European Landscape Convention , we North are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are East areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good Yorkshire decision-making framework for the natural environment. & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their West decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape East scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader Midlands partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help West Midlands to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. East of England Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key London drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are South East suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance South West on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

Threshfield Quarry closed in 2000 as an active quarry and a plan for its future has emerged from discussions between owners Lafarge Tarmac and the local community. The quarry was a major employer for almost a century, and a rare industrial presence in this high-quality rural landscape. It is now the largest brownfield development site in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, partly designated for employment use and partly for natural regeneration. The Threshfield Quarry Development Trust (TQDT) was established in 2012 as a Company Limited by Guarantee and now has charitable status.
