The circular clockwise walk leaves Grassington to the east via High Lane and climbs through the fields, and over 8 stiles to Edge Lane. After turning north to Spring House we walk up the road for 20 minutes to Yarnbury. The route takes off to the east past some old lead mines and a small reservoir, to Hebden Beck.

Grassington was the lead mining capital of the Dales up to the end of the 19th Century. Turn south down the attractive Hebden Beck Dale, through the villages of Hole Bottom and Hebden, to the River Wharfe.

We do not cross the river but walk west along a very pleasant river bank back to Grassington.
