Pannal and Almscliffe Crag walk
4 people attending
16 places left
Join me on this pleasant walk around the village of Pannal, just south of Harrogate, and beyond. This is a new and improved route featuring the rocky outcrop Almscliffe Crag as part of the walk.
Pannal village is well connected with a train station on the Leeds-Harrogate-York line. We will walk through small villages, fields, wooded areas, along past Crimple Beck, stopping somewhere along the route to have our packed lunches.
There will be an optional drink nearby at the end of the walk.
Well behaved dogs would be welcome, but may need to be kept on leads for parts of the route.
The route is approx. 8 miles.
