The River Aire and the Dales Highway- LONGER WEEKEND WALK
Sat 14th Nov 2026
Walk Details:
The walk will be a 16–17 mile circular route from Gargrave. The route will initially follow the Pennine Way, over fields and along the banks of the River Aire, towards Malham with views of Malham Cove in the distance. Before Malham we will turn off, passing Janet’s Foss and then onto the road. There is a short tarmac section uphill towards Weets Cross & Weets Top trig point. This is the highest climb on the route.
The route then follows the Dales Highway down towards Winterburn Reservoir before cutting back across farmland, finishing with a short road section back to the carpark.
