We are the Leeds Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

From Embsay we make our way over the fields to reach the village of Eastby, a short road walk then takes us to Bark Lane which we follow across several fields until we reach Billy Bobs Farm, which is a childrens adventure playground. From here we have a long road walk of about a mile until we reach Hesketh Farm,( which is another childrens adventure playground), at which point we turn off and head over the fields , cross the A59 Skipton Road and into Bolton Abbey railway station. We then have a steady climb up towards Haw Pike before taking the path just below the summit to cross several large fields ,then onto a a narrow lane and into the village of Draughton. We continue on through the village and make our way across the fields to re-cross the A59 road and head back into the village of Eastby and then back along the road into Embsay .A lunch break will be made at a convenient spot along the way.
The walk is mainly across farmland with some sections of road walking inbetween particularly at the beginning of the walk.It is anticipated that there will be cattle in many of the fields that we have to cross so please heed the advice that will be given if the circumstance arises.
