Overview

From Addingham we head up through the golf course towards Haw Pike farm then drop down cross the A59 road into Bolton Bridge. From here we follow the footpath alongside the river Wharfe until we reach the Abbey, we then cross over the footbridge and head up to the village of Storithes where we will stop for a lunch break. After the break we continue on across the fields recross the A59 and head over the base of Beamsley Beacon. From this point we have a short road walk before dropping down through the fields over the suspension bridge and back into Addingham.Refreshments will be at The Fleece P.H.
