The first part of today’s route climbs up Park Hill, where the Roundheads placed a canon to pound Skipton into submission during the English Civil War. After crossing a golf course, the trail enters the Yorkshire Dales National Park and upon Flasby Moor to Sharp Haw (357m), with magnificent views. Down from the hill you follow the Hetton Beck to Hetton village. The district’s Women’s Institute was the original inspiration for the film ‘Calendar Girls’. Next it is up via the Winterburn Reservoir, across moors to Weets Top (414m), from where you can appreciate the transition between gritstone moorland and craggy limestone ahead. From here there are views of Gordale Scar and Ingleborough Peak, before descending into attractive Malham Village, or you can bypass it directly heading to Malham Cove. Both this and Gordale Scar, with their limestone cave and waterfalls, are two of the premier Dales attractions.
