Overview

From Embsay we head over to the village of Eastby - a road walk then leads to Bark Lane which we follow until we reach Billy Bob's Farm. From here we have a long road walk to reach Hesketh Farm at which point we turn off and head over to Bolton Abbey railway station. We then have a steady climb up towards Haw Pike before taking a path which leads over to the village of Draughton. We continue on passing Draughton Hall Farm then across the A59 and head back into Eastby and then retrace our steps to Embsay. A lunch break will be made at a convenient spot along the way.
