Overview

Leaving the Visitor Centre we walk through Studley Deer Park to Studley Roger and then on a good level track to the edge of Ripon. After a short stretch by the River Skell and a steep flight of steps we cross Hell Wath Nature Reserve, then on to Hell Wath Cottage, Whitcliffe Hall and Mackershaw Lodge before descending to The Lake. After a short, steep climb up to the Church we retrace our earlier steps back to the Visitor Centre.
