Overview

Starting from Gargrave Village, this walk with lovely views in fine weather starts along the towpath of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal goes up Flasby Fell to the highest point of Sharp Haw before descending to return along the towpath.  A mixture of field paths, moorland tracks, quiet country roads and towpath. Seven stiles. Some fields might have cattle grazing.  Can be boggy in places when wet.  Graded strenuous because of a combination of distance and one short steep ascent.
