B Walk from Settle

Walk Leader: Terry Simmons
Distance: 8 ½ miles. moderate.
Total Ascent/Descent: 1375ft


 

Taken from “Country Walking magazine”.

This is the first time I have tackled a “B” walk as leader and the word that comes to mind for this is particular walk is “challenging” but with reasonable weather very gratifying.

It is a steady climb for the main part, which also has a little of this after lunch. the walk commences from the centre of town, travelling south we head for Cleatop Woods then across fields through green lanes and after crossing the Settle - Malham road we pass beneath Warrendale Knots and Attermire Scar. 


As we approach Victoria Caves [which is just above us to the right], we find we are on our descent and enjoying excellent views of Langcliffe and Settle below on the left as we make our way through kissing gates and fields to our destination for a well earned beverage possibly in the “Naked Man Café“..
