Overview

 From Dacre Banks we pick up the Nidderdale Way to Heyshaw and Yorkes Folly before dropping down to Middle Tongue, returning via Harewell Woods Farm and Harewell Hall before rejoining the Nidderdale Way for a short stretch by the river.

On a clear day there will be superb views up Nidderdale.

The moors section could be wet and boggy in places so poles recommended if you use them to help with balance.
