What these were I was unable to learn; Mr. Merritt, the proprietor, being absent at the time. While the water of the creek, only a few feet off, is quite sweet, that of the spring is very salt, and copious, tt is some- times very red. Fifty gallons make a bushel of salt, which is very white, and in small and thin irregular tables ; '36~0 bushels are made in a year, worth on the spot about 550l. sterling.

In essence this route heads over Grinton Moor into Wensleydale, follows the valley westwards, then climbs Buttertubs and returns along Swaledale. Of course that means two long steep climbs and fast descents to cross the high moorland in between the valleys. 1. Pass down through Reeth and cross the river. Shortly after on the right is the Dales Bike Centre. The main road then goes sharp left by the Bridge Inn, but you turn right signed to Leyburn. 2. Climb steeply up, cross a cattle grid and continue on passing Grinton Youth Hostel. The road zig zags over a stream and continues to climb up on to the moorland passing a military area. At a crossroads go straight on and descend in to Leyburn. 3. Turn right as you enter town and go straight over at a mini-roundabout. Descend away from Leyburn on the A684, and then take the first road on the right after 1.5 miles signed Preston and Redmire. 4. Follow this road through to Redmire (short diversion to Bolton Castle) and continue on to Carperby. Another short diversion takes you to Aysgarth Falls. 5. Continue to follow this road up Wensleydale passing through Woodhall and Askrigg.

  • 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.

  • The Mines of Downholme Moor and Thorpe Edge, Swaledale” British Mining No.48, NMRS, Pp.22-30
    BRITISH MINING No.48 MEMOIRS 1993 Barker, J.L. 1993 “The Mines of Downholme Moor and Thorpe Edge, Swaledale” British Mining No.48, NMRS, pp.22-30 Published by the THE NORTHERN MINE RESEARCH SOCIETY SHEFFIELD U.K. © N.M.R.S. & The Author(s) 1993. ISSN 0309-2199 BRITISH MINING No.48 THE MINES OF DOWNHOLME MOOR AND THORPE EDGE, SWALEDALE. by J.L. Barker The mining fields of Downholme and Thorpe Edge, although in pastoral lower Swaledale, provide a bleak and windy aspect for much of the year. Part of the moor lies within the Yorkshire Dales National Park and this offers an element of protection for the mining remains. The whole terrain is now controlled by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) as a military training area, but the nature of this training is such that what remains of the mining activity is almost completely undamaged other than by the elements. These areas represent a relatively small mining field compared with those in upper Swaledale. Much of the land was owned by Coverham Abbey until the monastery was dissolved in 1537. Eventually, Downholme Moor passed to Lord Bolton of Wensleydale and Thorpe Edge to D’Arcy Hutton of Marske. In 1927 Downholme Moor and Thorpe Edge were bought by the MoD from their respective owners. A further purchase of part of Downholme village was completed in 1931. Visual and documentary sources show that only four important veins were explored and these appear to be only a few hundred yards long. Most of the ore was mined in the Main Limestone and in the Richmond Cherts above.

  • 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.
