Start Point: Langcliffe Grid Reference: SD 823 651 
Distance: 9 mls Ascent: 1,550 ft
Time: 4.5 hours
Weather: Overcast with some sunny spells and a cold wind
Comments: Quite an easy walk, in an area often visited, on good tracks with some pleasant grassy sections. The route passes through interesting limestone escarpments and finishes with a pleasant stroll alongside the River Ribble.

Warrendale Knotts always looks inviting . . .

Calves at Lodge Farm

A footbridge allows easy access from the centre of Settle to join the Ribble Way

Quite small lambs compared to others we had seen

Not much water on the weir . . .

with some of the stones becoming dry . . .

and a very low level of water downstream

Marked as a reservoir on the map . . .

the water overflows . . .

to join the River Ribble

Sheila wonders whether a large disused mill . . .

is a good place for a caravan park

Walking back through Langcliffe . . .

there are some interesting looking properties . . .

including one sitting alone on a green triangle - called Green Cottage
