Melbecks 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

The Old Gang are the ruins of a lead smelting mill, it dates back to the 18th and 19th centuries.  It is one of the best preserved up in the north, and is designated a Scheduled Ancient Monument. This trail runs right through it, passing by various building ruins, mine entrances, and the peat store.

A cairn, a wind-swept hill and terrific views over Swaledale and Arkengarthdale - what more could you possibly want in life? Calver Hill (487m) is on Reeth Low Moor and is a perfect spot for hill-hungry walkers.

Forefield Rake is a strange, odd, desolate land, a line of old mine workings. There is a cairn up here: from next to it, you should be able to make out Great Shunner Fell on the horizon to the west. Great Pinseat (583m), a few minutes' walk to the north, is not on the path here, but most will be able to easily get to it.

Scabba Wath used to be a ford, which was then replaced by this bridge. It's known locally as Whita Bridge. The name Scabba Wath is only partly understood: while "wath" is Old Norse for "a ford", "scabba" is more mysterious and no one really knows what it is to indicate. Just off the road here, to the west, a few yards from the bridge, are the remains of the How Hill hillfort, visible in the ground, which is where there is a good place for a food stop or a longer rest next to the pleasant murmur of the River Swale's waters.

If you like peaceful river walks through the countryside, then you are going to like this one. Starting (or ending) at Feetham Wood, the path runs along the northern bank of the River Swale, with green fields and pastures to accompany while you look at the slow stream of the river. It's all flat, so will be terrific for walkers of all ages and abilities.

This is a picturesque, multi-arched stone bridge over the River Swale. It offers very pleasant views of the hamlet of Isles' cottages to the north and towards Brownsey Moor, rising directly above it. Of course, the River Swale is also peaceful and beautiful to look at.

There is something incredibly picturesque about this lone barn standing here amidst this glorious Swaledale landscape. Its lines are so straight and geometrical, somehow, that it makes an unusual impression. Besides that, the wildflower meadows here are stunningly pretty in the summer. A lovely, beautiful spot.

Stunning views from this track, just below Black Hill: look to the west across Kisdon, to Great Shunner Fell and beyond. River Swale is down below, but will be difficult or impossible to see. Particularly in the right light, the view of the hills and the landscape will be pure art and magic.
