July Walks from Bolton Abbey

Our walks on Saturday 12th July will be in the Bolton Abbey area, which we last visited 12th March 2005 whilst there was still snow on the high hills.
There will be just two walks this year, pending an 'A' Walk leader coming forward!;
  • B Walk led by George Mann
  • C Walk led by Alex
Details of the walks will be posted as soon as they become available, hopefully they will be on site by July 5th

Here are some photographs from the 2005 visit;

From Earl's Seat looking across to Drebley (I think)

Getting nearer home and the last mile along the river.

Bolton Abbey is in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales on the banks of the River Wharfe. With just under 30,000 acres of beautiful countryside, over 80 miles of footpaths and ample space to run around and enjoy the fresh air, there is something for all ages. Explore the ruins of the Priory and discover a landscape full of history and legend, wander along the riverside, woodland and moorland paths, enjoy local produce in the excellent restaurants, tea rooms and cafes, treat yourself in the quality gift shops and food shop or simply relax beside the river with a picnic whilst the children play.
