Pen Hill and Redmire Force

From the layby we will ascend by field paths and quiet roads to Pen Hill Beacon, the highest point of the walk.  After a short section of ridge path giving a fine view of Wensleydale we will descend by Stony Gate, High Lane and the remains of the Knights Templars Preceptory to the main road at Temple Farm. We will walk along the road verge for a short distance before following Stony Stoop Lane to the river bank and continuing along a river side path to Redmire Force.  From there we will continue by the river before turning up Flats Lane back to West Witton.
