W8: A Lower Wensleydale Ramble

Leave Station car park 9.30am. Start in Finghall at 10.00am. Park in lower section of the car park at The Queen's Head (DL8 5ND). 9 Miles. Moderate. £7

Our walk, at the easier end of our moderate grading, takes us across field paths to the reservoir at Thornton Steward before we head east towards Newton Le Willows. There is some road walking along quiet byways on this part of the walk. Crossing the line of the Wensleydale Railway we follow a pleasant valley path alongside Leeming Beck before re-crossing the tracks for our return to Finghall. There are good open views of Lower Wensleydale throughout.
