Overview

From Dacre Bank we make our way up through North Woods, across several fields to reach the village of Heyshaw. We then head down towards Monk Ings Road which we follow towards Long Ridge Crag before turning off to follow the lane down to Padside Beck. From here we follow the beck through the woods to reach the Pack Horse Bridge where we will stop for a lunch break. After the break a short road walk takes us to Carr Lodge Farm then on through the Scout Camp and then downhill to the Darley Mill Centre . We then make our way down to the River Nidd which we follow all the way back into Dacre Bank.
