Overview

We begin our walk from the Hob Hole car park going up onto Kildale Moor before dropping down to Baysdale Abbey and then up again onto Baysdale Moor. Waypoints on our walk include the small waterfall at Armouth Wath, Great Hograh Beck and the Alan Clegg Memorial Cairn. The walk is almost entirely moorland but on very good tracks. There are no stiles but a few ups to contend with. The track down to Great Hograh Beck needs great care. Hopefully a clear day will make the views outstanding.
