Walking in the Yorkshire Dales (favourite routes)

Post by jdrobbo » Sat May 27, 2023 9:41 pm

Hi everyone,

Now exiled in Leeds, my wife and I like to occasionally head out into the dales for a decent walk.

I thought I’d share what we did today, in the hope that other people who also like to venture there, might want to share some of their favourite routes.

We usually walk 6-10 miles but today, did just over 12.


START in Halton Gill towards the end of Littondale valley…

1) up to the Horse Head (605m) trig point (so an immediate climb)

2) Down into upper Wharfedale and to Yokenthwaite

3) cross the road and river and head towards Hubberholme along the river.

4) At Hubberholme, pick up Dubb’s Lane for about a mile until just before Buckden (path off to the right)

4) Back up to another trig point on Birks Fell (606m) on the opposite side of the valley to Buckden Pike…follow the path immediately over the top of the hill, heading back into Littondale

5) Cross the road once in Litton (picking up the footpath/ Bridleway at the Queen’s Arms)

6) Head back to Halton Gill from Litton.

20km (just over)

Nice,.
We do much the same on Dart or Exmoor. It's so good to get out and walk.

Yokenthwaite bridge looking back down the valley towards Buckden. These rivers (I assume due to rock porosity and water table) are common right through the valley. In places, the river is flowing normally and in others, the river bed is completely dry.

Thanks John, got it now. The second picture where it shows the bridge leading up to the farm house is where James Herriot’s Mrs - Helen lived (in the programme) he’d often be seen dropping her off at the bridge, there’s a small red post box at the entrance to the bridge but not visible in your photo. Anyway, lovely photos. I know the area well being from Malham. One of my friends lives at a lovely spot in Litton, another nice area.

It's quite near langstrothdale chase at that point I think until it meets the skirfare it's first proper tributary you see a slight change in the wharfes appearance, it doesn't take many dry days to see the river levels lower & suffer.

Great pictures, we love Malham and last year took the grandchildren up the cove and to the tarn, so vital to get younger people out into the countryside to appreciate nature.

Thanks for this, a favourite of ours as well. We often stay at Stonelands Cottages in Littondale - just a short walk to the Queens Arms. Another good Dales walk is the Malham circular via Janet’s Foss, Gordale Scar - waterfall climb if not too wet, Malham Tarn and back to the Cove and village via the dry valley.

The Malham round has to be one of Britains best walks, let alone Yarkshurs.
The view from Simons Seat is hard to beat.
I could spend an afternoon strolling around Brimham Rocks.

Back in the 70s in Malham you could park your car outside your house or on the road during summer, blimey how that’s changed, you’re lucky if you can get home or leave the village these days, probably like a number of dales villages these days. Still a beautiful part of the dales though.

We’re looking at potentially doing

Starbottom-Bukden Pike-ridge walk and then down to Starbottom again, for our next jaunt. It’s about ten miles.

I seriously recommend ascending Buckden Pike via Buckden Beck. Most folks don't know about this incredible route, which contains lots of superb waterfalls and a bit of very easy scrambling. https://www.mudandroutes.com/routes/wal ... kden-beck/

Unforgettable - magnificent!

This is the route I knocked up earlier. We will go with your recommendation of climbing that way…so in effect, the reverse route. Thank you

Not a mapped path, but you'll see one along most of it. Follow advice given in the link. You'll love it.

My wife and I are walking the Pennine Way in September and finding accommodation in Malham was very difficult. I've been to Maham before and know it is worth visiting but my wife has never been so treat for her.

I'm doing Buckden- Cray -Hubberholme on Thursday with a mate.
Here are some pics of a recent walk around Upper Nidderdale, How Stean Gorge. A gem of a place, and a lot quieter than most of the Dales.

Cycled along the kettlewell to Buckden road many a time in my youth - Sunday run Burnley to Hawes and back via Settle. I recall you can get a really good echo if you shout out across the valley at points along that stretch.

Thank you John for this great posting and the wonderful photographs. The route is a little too long for us, however, we intend to walk a shorter 5 miles Halton Gill circular route.
One of our favourite walks is a Burnsall round trip taking in Grassington and Hebden, a 7 miles circular.
Last week we had a short stay in Coniston Cold and enjoyed a scenic 6 miles walk in the Grassington area. Even old Bob Lorders can manage that !

Upper Nidderdale/ Gouthwaite Reservoir / How Steam Gorge..
I park in Lofthouse, there's a cracking pub (The Crown Hotel), for am end of walk pint.
It's a stunning part of the Dales, but a lot less busy than most.
