A Walk from Settle 2013

Walk Leader:  Stuart Smith
Distance: 17.5Km
Total Ascent: 516 mtrs



 
The A Walk is a circular walk that begins in the town centre of Settle and there are good facilities at the start of the walk. The route heads in the direction of Langcliffe and climbs steadily for the first 15 minutes and the views of Settle and Langcliffe are set against the rugged mountains. The paths are good and well maintained. The walk is challenging but not overly demanding, with the maximum ascent being 516 metres and the total distance is 17.5 km (10.85 miles).

After the initial ascent the route heads in the direction of Malham via Langcliffe scar. At Malham the route heads back towards Settle taking in some stunning views, heading in-between Great Scar and Rye Loaf Hill, towards Sugar Loaf Hill. From Sugar Loaf Hill there is a pretty walk back to the centre of Settle, passing a nice pub and the Naked Man Café. There is also an optional extra walk towards Scaleber Force, a waterfall of the River Ribble.
