The Walk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hackfall Woods near Masham is a lovely area of woodland which is being restored by the Woodland Trust after years of decline. The approach along the River Ure via the Ripon Rowel<\/a> footpath is an ideal way to arrive at the woods. Returning via the pretty village of Grewelthorpe and Nutwith Common makes sense and completes a pleasant circuit. It particular the contrast of riverside, woodland and great views across the Ure towards Masham make for a fine day out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I first completed the walk in February and the woods were not at their best. However on subsequent visits its beauty, variety and interest became more apparent. It was a very popular walk for the Victorians in particular. William Wordsworth was inspired and JW Taylor wielded his paintbrush here. Earlier the Aislabie family had bought the land and built a number of stone follies in the woods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Woodland Trust have recently undertaken a project of restoration. New view points for the actual Hack Fall and paths leading up to the folly overlooking the bend in the river have all been improved. It is an area that one of our greatest artists JMR Turner enjoyed in the early 19th century. A number of his paintings depicted the woods and falls of Hackfall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommend<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Take time in the woods and follow the ‘off shoot’ paths to enticing little corners and surprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navigation Tips in Hackfall Woods<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you are in the riverside look for the path heading uphill and out of the woods towards Grewelthorpe. It is opposite the small island where the river does a large left handed loop. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The walk to Hackfall Woods near Masham takes you alongside the River Ure.
