Overview

From Kettlewell we have a steep ascent north up to Cam Head, we walk along the top and then drop down to Starbottom where we have a short break by the river. Our second long ascent follows to reach the hills above Arncliffe. During our descent into the village we will take our lunch break whilst enjoying the views. From Arncliffe we walk along the River Skirfare to the village of Hawkswick where a steady uphill walk takes us over to Kettlewell.
