Overview

We skirt the edge of Ripley Park before heading across fields to Burnt Yates for our morning stop. From here we drop down to cross the river Nidd and it's then a steep climb to pass above the village of Birstwith and our lunch break. After lunch we descend to Hampsthwaite and walk alongside the Nidd back to our cars. There is no pub stop on the walk, although refreshment is available in Ripley.
