Overview

 A lovely walk  including a bit of everything - river side paths, lanes, moorland tracks, field paths and parkland. We start by following the 6 Dales Trail along the River Ure to Cover Bridge. At this point we leave the river and head to East Witton, before continuing upwards to Witton Moor. Along to the pretty village of Ellingstring where for a short while we pick up the 6 Dales Trail again before heading towards Kilgram, with the final mile being back through the beautiful parkland of Jervaulx. 

Poles recommended if you use them, there could be one muddy section

NB This walk includes a steep climb of about 1 mile up Sowden Beck Rd out of E Witton. This climb will not be rushed

No dogs
