A fantastic walk through some beautiful limestone scenery. The whole area is criss-crossed with paths giving many alternative options. A bright sunny day but spoilt by a very strong cold wind.

Grassington is a pretty village to visit, but the cafe's are a bit pricey and close at 5 ish. Parking and toilets are good at the national park site, just out of the village on the Pateley Bridge road. £4 for all day parking.
There are various routes up the hill out of the village. Needs care to get the one you want, but if you get it wrong, it is easy, if time consuming to get back on track.
The feature of this walk are the old lead mines on the moor above Grassington and hebden. The old smelting flume up to the chimney at the top of the hill is an interesting feature well worth investigating. Note that there are lots of mine shafts that are not covered or marked, so don't wander off the footpaths without watching where you are going. Some shafts are 90 m deep !
The route north is a bit of a drag, but with graet views to the south wets to pendel hill, and up the wharfe valley. Turning east, the route drops down a steep track into some delightful Limestone pavement, then takes a left down the Dales way back into Grassington. Very nice bit of path.
enjoy.

Another fantastic day out in the Dales. Had chance to summit Great Whernside in good (well, slightly improved) weather this time before heading back into Kettlewell via the old Top Mere Road for a cheeky pint.
