Langcliffe walk (North Yorkshire)
20 people attending
0 places left
3 people waitlisted
This is a beautiful walk, about 8.5 miles long in the Yorkshire Dales.
We will start from the train station and head towards Langcliffe. There are some lovely sights on this route. We'll take in a waterfall (Catrigg Force) as well as various caves and lots of beautiful views. There are some parts of the walk that have steeper ascents. Tracks and paths are fairly good but if there has been wet weather it could be boggy in places.
