  • Traditional Farm Buildings Survey
    National Character Area 21 Yorkshire Dales Summary The Yorkshire Dales is a large scale upland landscape of high moorland, dissected by often deep dales, which forms part of the Pennine uplands running up the centre of Northern England. It is separated from the North Pennines by the Stainmore Trough faults and from the more industrialised South Pennines by the Craven Faults. Just 0.3% of the area is urban, 4% is woodland, and 26% is upland grazing. 71% of the area falls within the Yorkshire Dales National Park and 17% within the Nidderdale AONB. 30% of the area is designated as SSSI. The key farmstead characteristics are: Landscape and Settlement $! !"#$%&'(!)*!+&,-(.%(/!.+/!/#01('0(/!0(%%-(2(+%3!(0%.4-#05(/!#+!%5(!2(/#(6.-!1('#)/!.+/!-.%('3!0(%!#+!.!-.+/0,.1(! with a long history of enclosure. $! !7#85!/(+0#%9!)*!*.'20%(./0!.+/!*#(-/!4.'+0!#+!%5(!-.+/0,.1(:!;5(!5#85(0%!/(+0#%#(0!.'(!,)22)+-9!.00),#.%(/!<#%5! small-scale fields in the pastoral upper dales, and the miner-farmer landscapes of the northern dales.

    1 Restored Cupola Smelt Mill chimney on Grassington Moor on Grassington Cupola Smelt Mill chimney Restored LCA 17 South East Gritstone Uplands Yorkshire Dales National Park Landscape Character Assessment YORKSHIRE DALES NATIONAL PARK LANDSCAPE CHARACTER ASSESSMENT LANDSCAPE CHARACTER AREAS 2 LCA 17 South East Gritstone Uplands Key characteristics • Elevated gritstone moorland plateau of gently rounded hills with occasional stepped slopes overlooking parts of Wharfedale and Coverdale, with a series of outlying hills to the west • Gritstone crags and screes often punctuate the rounded landform; some pronounced lumpy knolls in the south of the area and conical peaks on Flasby Fell. 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.

  • History of the Dales Congregational Churches” by Thomas Whitehead: Feather Bros, Keighley, 1930
    Extract from the “History of the Dales Congregational Churches” by Thomas Whitehead: Feather Bros, Keighley, 1930. Darkling our great forefathers went The first steps of the way; 'Twas but the dawning, yet to grow Into the perfect day. And grow it shall; our glorious Sun More fervid rays afford; The Lord has yet more light and truth To break forth from His word GRASSINGTON (population 988), in Upper Wharfedale, may be-approached by rail from Skipton to Threshfield (1.5 miles distant). A good motor bus service runs from Skipton to Grassington. It is picturesquely situated on the hillside overlooking the Wharfe. The old Roman roads, the barrows, flint arrow heads, and the like, indicate great antiquity. The moors beyond were formerly rich in lead ore which was worked for many generations, when the miners lived in Grassington. Some years ago the mines were abandoned, and the population was depleted, and it is only within recent years, since it has become a residential area that its prosperity has returned. Oil lamps have long been superseded by electric light. It is described as the largest town in Wharfedale north of Addingham, but until the beginning of the 19th century it could boast of no place of worship, the nearest being the Parish Church at Linton, built in 1180. Apart from Quaker meeting-houses, the nearest Nonconformist Chapel was at Winterburn, which was erected in 1704. It is said that friends from Grassington occasionally attended Winterburn Chapel in the latter half of the 18th, and the beginning of the 19th centuries, and that lay-helpers from the Church there, and from the Congregational Chapel at Skipton, frequently held services in cottages, both at Linton and Grassington.

  • Gargrave-Route.Pdf
    GARGRAVE CIRCULAR Start and finish Gargrave village hall Distance 8 miles (14km) Refreshments Gargarve and Hetton Toilets Gargrave Nearest train station Gargrave This is a relatively short route with no big climbs, which takes you from the small town of Gargrave up into the southern Yorkshire Dales. The roads have little traffic, and there are great views of Flasby and Barden Moors. Gargrave has the well known cyclists’ café called the Dalesman, and at Hetton is the Angel Inn which is famous for its food. ROUTE DESCRIPTION 1. Gargrave village hall is close to a free car park, and if you are coming from the train station is just on the other side of the A65 down the side of the Dalesman café. Facing the entrance to the village hall you need to take the small road to the left. This takes you over the Leeds to Liverpool canal, then turn immediately right. At the end of this road turn left, and follow this road out of Gargrave. 2. At the end of a straight section take care as you turn right signed to Grassington. This road is followed through Flasby to Hetton. There are a few short climbs on the way, and lovely views over the Dales. 3. When you arrive in Hetton you turn sharp left, almost doubling back on yourself, on the road signed to Winterburn and Airton. If you fancy a break the Angel Inn is 100m further up the road. This quiet road wends its way through the undulating countryside to reach a small hamlet called Winterburn.

  • This Walk Description Is from Happyhiker.Co.Uk Hetton To
    This walk description is from happyhiker.co.uk Hetton To Winterburn Reservoir Starting point and OS Grid reference Hetton Village (SD 926589) – on street parking. Ordnance Survey map OL2 Yorkshire Dales – Southern and Western area. Distance 8 miles Traffic light rating Introduction: This easy 8 mile walk from Hetton starts off following Hetton and Flasby Becks to the tiny hamlet of Flasby, then curves round to follow Winterburn Beck and Winterburn Reservoir before returning to Hetton. Hetton is a pretty Yorkshire Dales village whose main claim to fame is probably the Angel Inn, from where the walk starts. This pub is renowned for its quality food. To get to Hetton, either turn north off the A65 in Gargrave or west off the B6265 Skipton to Grassington road at Rylstone (of Calendar Girls fame). Parking at Hetton is on street. Start: With your back to the Angel Inn, turn right and walk along its main street. At the road junction, take the left fork, following the road sign for Gargrave and Settle. Just after passing the national speed limit sign on the outskirts of the village, take the footpath across the fields off to the left indicated by a fingerpost to Flasby (SD 960586). Follow the direction of the arrow across a couple of fields until you reach the beck and turn right. The route of the path is fairly clear and it more or less follows the beck to the outskirts of Flasby. Here just in front of a farm, go through a gate on to a tarmac lane and turn right (SD 947566).

  • The Craven Dales
    The Craven Dales + Physical Influences Craven, one of the few remaining Celtic names within the dales, is derived from ‘land of the crags’. The landscape of the Craven Dales, together with the Three Peaks of Whernside, Pen-y-ghent and Ingleborough, is dominated by the influence of limestone, and includes some of the best examples of this type of scenery within the Yorkshire Dales National Park and within the United Kingdom as a whole. The Three Peaks are composed of a succession of rocks that lie in almost level layers. Virtually all of the rocks (with the exception of some outcrops of the Ingletonian series in the Ingleton Glens and Silurian rocks in areas of Crummackdale and Ribblesdale) are of the Carboniferous age, 360-290 million years old. The Great Scar limestone dominates the scenery around Ingleton and Settle, attaining a thickness of over 200m. The Yoredale series lies above the Great Scar limestone, with a total thickness of some 300m, and comprises bands of limestone along with layers of shale and sandstone in a repeating succession. Because the various layers have different degrees of resistance to erosion the slopes are stepped, as for example on the sides of Pen-y-ghent. Above the Yoredale series lies Millstone Grit, which is represented by small impervious dark caps on the principal hills. Thin seams of coal occur within the shale of the Yoredale series. Coal has been extracted on the summit of Fountains Fell, and a number of small collieries and one large colliery were worked in the Ingleton area. The presence of faultlines creates dramatic variations in the scenery.

  • Parish of Gargrave*
    PARISH OF GARGRAVE. 229 PARISH OF GARGRAVE* 'HIS may be considered as the central parish of Craven, as well as one of the warmest and most fertile. The name is unusually constructed, and therefore requires a particular explanation. The oldest orthography of the word, as it occurs in charters, is Gerigraph. Now there remains at this day, at a small distance from the parish church, on the west, a close called Garris, in which is a deep and broad moat, once, beyond a doubt, surrounding the manor-house of the town, which is always found adjoining to the church. Gerigraf, therefore, is the graf or trench of Garri, a personal name, which, with a slight variety in the spelling,! still remains in Craven. This extensive parish [which contains, according to the Ordnance Survey, 11,6673. 3 r. i6p.] consists of the townships of Gargrave, Coniston Cald, Cald Newton, since called Bank Newton, Stainton, Eshton, Flasby, and Winterburne. It is partly within the fee of Clifford, and partly in that of Percy, which are divided by the river Are. About half a mile beneath the town, on a fertile plain, are the buried remains of a Roman villa called Kirk Sink, from a tradition that some great ecclesiastical edifice had there been swallowed up. The stones of which this building have been composed have gradually been removed, probably to build the present church ; but the inequalities upon the surface prove it to have been a parallelogram about 300 feet long and 180 wide. In modern times it was first dug into about seventy years ago; and the fame of a tesselated pavement discovered at that time, of which I had seen some remains, induced me to apply for permission to open the ground again.
