Guided Walk – The Pennine Way & River Ure

The Pennine Way and River Ure walk is approximately 5 miles in length.
This is a moderate walk from the museum along the Pennine way to Hardraw and then across fields to the village of Appersett.

A short walk along a minor road leads to a delightful viaduct which previously carried the old Hawes to Garsdale railway across a gorge containing the Widdale Beck.

Groups often abseil from this viaduct.

Passing under the viaduct the walk route crosses fields to reach the A684 which is followed briefly to reach a footpath beside the River Ure which is then followed back to Haylands Bridge and thence to the DCM.
A certain level of fitness is required as there are some gradual ascents and descents but nothing difficult.

All the stiles are easy to negotiate.
