There is no legal right of way for bicycles across the old mine workings above Yarnbury to Bycliffe and this revision avoids this area entirely. The revised route takes the quiet tarmac lane from the heart of Grassington, following the eastern side of the River Wharfe, to the pleasant village of Conistone, where the original route is regained. There is a right of way (Scot Gate Lane) that climbs long and steeply up to Bycliffe from just outside Conistone. It would involve descending the same way you climbed, but the descent (part of the original route) is a fun undertaking. Overview A pleasant ride up the eastern side of the River Wharfe from Grassington to the vil- lage of Conistone. The route crosses the River Wharfe and heads to Kilnsey before climbing out of the dale. A long grassy climb over sheep pasture is followed by fun bridleways and then a good rocky descent towards Threshfield. Quiet roads and easy bridleways are then linked together for the return leg to Grassington.

Ignore the path that goes off to the left to Beckermonds, continue climbing upwards (you will be returning via this path). Make sure to look back down to see a great view of Littondale. The path continues for around a mile winding upwards to Horse Head pass. On reaching the gate at the top of Horse Head pass, Horse Head trig point can be seen on your left. At the top on a clear day, looking in a south westerly direction you should be able to make out all the Yorkshire 3 Peaks. Continue to follow the main bridleway as it starts to drop downwards towards Raisgill and Yockenthwaite . Now you should start to see views of Buckden Pike to your right and Yockenthwaite Moor directly in front of you. After crossing the small beck the path levels out for a while before dropping sharply to the road. Follow any of the tracks down to the road.

    Biographies of St. James Vicars (Whitehaven)

    ST. JAMES VICARS BIOGRAPHIES Parish of Whitehaven Publication HS 9 RICHARD ARMITSTEAD Vicar 1790 to 1821 Richard Armitstead was baptised on 20 th January 1766 at Arncliffe St. Oswald’s, North Yorkshire- the second son of Marmaduke Armitstead-a plebian (or commoner). Marmaduke was baptized at Arncliffe on 9th October 1735 (the son of John and Agnes), and was buried on 25 th June 1811 having died on 21 st June. The first child was John (baptized 15 th May 1764, died 1789 4), and later children were Agnes (19 th July 1767), James (2 nd February 1769, died 1708), and Elizabeth (9 th March 1777). Marmaduke had married a Mary Savage of Bolton Percy (SW of York) in 1763 or 1764- the Marriage Bond is dated 10 th March 1763. At the time of the bond being issued Mary was 21, 5 years younger than Marmaduke. The Armitsteads were an old yeoman family from the Craven District of the West Riding of Yorkshire, both Richard’s father and grandfather lived at Litton Hall. It is believed that he attended Ermysted’s Grammar School, Skipton (after an early education at the Village School)- but the records are insufficient to prove that. 1 Litton Hall had been leased by Marmaduke’s father, who had also owned New House Farm at Halton Gill. Marmaduke and Mary lived at Prospect House, Arncliffe (near the Falcon Inn). Marmaduke’s brother, Richard, built Armistead Farm at Litton in 1734 Nothing is known of his early life, but he matriculated to Queens College, Oxford as a batter on 25 th June 1784.

    England: Dales Way Self-Guided Walk

    EUROPEAN WALKING HOLIDAYS 2018 ENGLAND - THE DALES WAY 8-days / 7-nights self-guided inn-to-inn walking holiday from Yorkshire to the Lake District and coast What better welcome to the north of England than the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, the purest form of the English highland landscape, with its traditions and views which have remained virtually untouched for centuries. 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.
