Shorter Walks for All

Malham Cove is a spectacular face of rock that is climbed by stone steps on its western fringe. The limestone pavements on it’s top are rightly world famous with good views over the stone walls and fields of the area.

The village and lands around Kirkby Malzeard is hidden between Masham, Ripon and the Dales themselves. The village and buildings are lovely and the walk starts with an interesting section of woodland.

A short walk at Kirkby Lonsdale to explore this interesting market town. The walk heads for Devil’s Bridge before returning along a pleasant section of the River Lune. Finally the Radical Steps return you to town.

Many would agree that West Burton, with its large village green and picture post card buildings, is the most attractive village in the Yorkshire Dales. This West Burton walk also takes you along the quiet valley of Waldendale.

Starting at the dam the walk around Thruscross Reservoir initially follows the shoreline. After some remains from the dam creation the walk takes to the moors above the reservoir. It is a walk of peace and tranquility.

A short walk to the lovely waterfall of Catrigg Force from Stainforth. Woodland disguises the falls which are at their most impressive after heavy rains. The return is via a path picking its way through a limestone scar.
