If you want to see some waterfalls, then Skipton and the surrounding area is a great place to start. The geology of this area in the Yorkshire Dales National Park is perfect; limestone, valleys, and the ‘odd bit of rain’. Waterfall walks are one of our favourite as a family. They are such a spectacular […]
Above the tops of Settle, North Yorkshire is a beautiful area overlooking the valley with the Yorkshire 3 Peaks in the distance, the river in the bottom and then across to the sights of Pendle Hill. This circular route of 8.5 miles starting in Stainforth is a challenging walk which takes in the highlights of […]
In association with Skipton Wellness Week I am hosting a Wellness Walk on Global Wellness Day – 12th June. The walk will be free to attend and you can do it anytime throughout the day. Where is the Wellness Walk? Skipton Woods located behind the Castle at the top of town is the ideal place […]

To celebrate Global Wellness Day on the 12th June, Skipton is hosting a full week of activities – Skipton Wellness Week. I’m getting involved as I want to promote walking as a […]
Location: LA6 3ET Distance: 5 miles Ingleton Waterfalls on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales is a fab family walk. One of the more challenging walks due to the length and the terrain but worth it! Waterfalls and more There are 8 main waterfalls around the route to see. The first 4 are on the […]

Between Christmas and New Year we were lucky enough to book an impromptu rare child free night away to the Lakes. At the time both areas were under Tier 2 covid restrictions which meant we could stay overnight. At the time it was totally amazing to get away under the circumstances but writing this currently […]
With the road map for the way of Lockdown 3 planned to be announced soon it has got me thinking about the places I want to visit this year. With 2021 still looking so uncertain I’m cautious to dream too much but my mind has started wandering. Where is the first place I would like […]
Location: HG3 4BB Distance: 9.5km Thruscross Reservoir is one of the more challenging reservoir walks and is definitely not pram friendly! As a lover of reservoirs the spillway at Thruscross Reservoir is stunning and worth the trip just to see this, especially when it’s spilling. The route itself around the reservoir has it all; woodland, […]
