An attractive walk in Wensleydale with fine views, a few short climbs and a stop to admire the magnificent Bolton Castle which dominates the skyline and has been owned by the Scrope family continuously for over 600 years. The walk begins at the Wheatsheaf Inn, a traditional Yorkshire pub, chosen by James Herriot as the location for his honeymoon. We climb up onto the limestone ridge with wonderful views across the dale to Penhill, then head to Bolton Castle for a coffee break where you can choose to use the castle café or sit and enjoy your own refreshments outside whilst admiring the view. Then its downhill all the way back to the Wheatsheaf Inn for lunch at around 1.45pm. Walk participants will be contacted prior to the walk for their pub lunch menu choices.
