Along the riverDistance: about 8 miles
Our walk today takes us across fields, through woods and up on to meadow moor-land. From there we get a great view of the sweep of the Wharfe Valley. Making our way down we head for Barden Tower ( A ruin ) originally owned by the Clifford family of Skipton Castle and once the preferred home of Lord Clifford.
From there we join the river-side path which we follow down to the Strid. Here the river narrows to plunge spectacularly through a rocky tree lined gorge. Continuing on we come to the Cavendish Pavilion where we can stop for refreshments leaving sufficient time to visit the Abbey Ruins ( if required ) on the way back to join the coach.
Regrettably part of the walk is on a road so it essential we take care and walk in single file when necessary.
