C Route approx using main destinations (clockwise)

 Leaving Hawes we walk along the road towards Gayle to take a path heading West across the fields. Dropping down onto a road we head for Thorne Mire House. The vista opens up before us. Following Widdale Beck, with its series of falls down under a viaduct of a disused railway we come to Appersett.

We then have a short walk along the road before a little, steady climb towards Bluebell Hill. Then we pick up The Pennine Way through Hardraw back into Hawes.

There are a lot of stiles along the way. Most of these are just a step over and a gate. If anyone wishes to see the waterfall at Hardraw Force, the pleasure of seeing the 96 ft drop. It is the highest single drop in the Dales. It will cost you £2.50.
