Dacre Walls Walk - 6 miles

NEW WALK!! A hilly walk in Nidderdale that includes a variety of terrain: riverside & woodland trails, moorland tracks (can be soft underfoot and a bit boggy), access tracks & pavements, field crossings & footbridges and plenty of stiles are all experienced on this scenic walk.

We start from The Wellington pub, located on the B6451 in Darley. The village is located a few miles west of Harrogate. If travelling from that direction along the A59, you will turn right (sp Pateley Bridge) where the B6451 crosses the A59 just before a big dip in the road.

The pub has a large car park but please park at the very back of the car park (on the unsurfaced area), leaving the area you drive into from the road for the pub’s patrons - its a popular place!

The walk will be led at a steady pace: not too fast, not too slow. Please be ready to start walking at the advertised time.

Walk fee: £3. No dogs please.

Provisions: please bring packed lunch/drink/snacks. If it’s a pleasant day, we will have a lunch stop (as well as a morning break).

After-walk refreshment: The Wellington is a nice pub which we ‘discovered’ on another walk when our planned pub was closed (thanks to Ken Reed!).
