쉬운 Stainforth 하이킹 및 워킹 코스

A lovely mill pond, often with many mallard ducks, plus yellow irises in springtime.

This historic lane was once part of a vital trade link between Ripon and Lancaster.

Ride over it 👍

Take a torch and on the west side of the Kiln nearest the business park there is a brick ladder cut into the side and you can access the roof.

Well worth a stop

Pen-y-Ghent is perfect for a first mountain walk and an introduction to scrambling. The approach starts with a grassy track that climbs steadily, with views of Pen-y-Ghent’s southern face slowly revealing itself as you join the Pennine Way. ⚠️ The last section is the most dramatic one as the path makes way to some light scrambling: you won't need ropes nor will you need to lifting yourself up, but may need 3 points of contact in places and sure-footedness is required to navigate the rough stones. For those afraid of heights; there is some exposure. On a clear day, you’ll see Ingleborough, Whernside, and even the Lake District or Morecambe Bay in the far distance

This is the classic ascent route on the Southern Face and the recommended route as: 1. it is easier to take that scramble going up than down 2. taking this side as the descent would bring you against the flow. The path is very narrow and the route can get very busy, in particular during the summer's week-end. The scramble is a good introduction to that type of terrain if you have never scrambled before. But not recommended if you are really afraid of height as some of the section is quite exposed. This should also to be avoided on icy days, and in case of heavy rain / wind. It has been a mountain rescue black-spot due to hikers who were unprepared for some more extreme weather. Check the mountain forecast prior to setting off as Pen-Y-Ghent is very exposed and the conditions at the top will be different from the conditions in the valley.

For those afraid of heights; there is some exposure. 🚂 A classic starting point is Horton-in-Ribblesdale; which is accessible by train. I would recommend to take the Brackenbottom Path up and descent via the Pennine Way as: - The scramble near the summit is easier going up than down - You would be going against hoards of other hikers on the way down the Brackenbottom path and cause difficulties for others on the narrow paths. In particular if there is a 3 peaks event on the day. 🚌 You can also start it from Helwith Bridge; which is accessible by bus.
