Tourist Guide

Farmland and fells in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The Swinden Quarry mineral railway can be seen running across the centre of the picture. The bridge in the middle crosses Fleets Lane, a track leading to Fleets House in SD9660. The building that can just be made out behind the trees a little to the right is New Laithe and Swinden Lane can be seen climbing towards Linton Moor.

School and village hall, Cracoe The old school building is still in use, without any modern extensions. It has a belfry at the far end of the roof ridge. The sign on the grass bank reads 'caution change of surface'.

Pen-y-Ghent makes up one the Yorkshire 3 peaks which, if you accept the challenge have to complete all 3 peaks and 24 miles within 12 hours. Most people start with this one (the smallest of the 3 ) from the nearby village of Horton-in-Ribblesdale. I’ve completed the challenge many years ago in my youth and this time we just tackled this one on a circular 6 mile walk. We took the 3 peaks ascent route which is steep in places and involves a scramble up some rocks near the end but the views
