Overview

We start with a walk along the River Wharfe and then a gradual climb through woodland, grassland and farm roads up towards March Gill Reservoir, lunch at Fairy Dell and then a gradual descent back to the river with some road walking where caution is needed. Just three stiles.

Shorts are not advisable as there is heavy undergrowth, nettles and thistles in parts of the walk.
