Walk: Burnsall & Troller’s Ghyll
A walk through Burnsall, Troller’s Ghyll, Parceval Hall, Howgill and over the River Wharfe. The Route what3words for start point: ///professes.desktops.trickle Start Point: Burnsall, Wharfedale Finish Point: Burnsall, Wharfedale Distance: 8.3 Miles GPX Route Map burnsall-and-trollers-ghyllDownload Walk Description Troller's Ghyll Legends and folklore make for a fascinating walk. Amongst the hills and valleys near the village of Appletreewick is a limestone gorge so dark and forbidding that our ancestors once feared it. They believed it to be the haunt of trolls, hence its name of Trollers Ghyll. According to legend these trolls, or mischievous fairies, roll stones down the steep hillside onto the heads of unwary walkers! A more sinister tale is told of a wolf-like beast that lives in a cave in this ravine, with large fangs and staring eyes the size of saucers. This is the infamous Barguest, which preys on unsuspecting travellers – if your eyes meet then it is certain death! These legends have their origins in Norse mythology. Just above Trollers Gill are the crumbling remains of Gill Head Mines, the last working underground mines in the Yorkshire Dales. Lead was mined here between the 18th Century and the early 1900s; however, it reopened in the 1920s as a fluorspar mine which then continued in production until 1981. The surrounding moors are littered with the remains of the lead mining industry that once flourished in this area. Lead mining can be traced back to the Romans, although it was during the 18th and 19th Centuries that the mines were developed on a large-scale commercial basis with the advent of new mining and pumping technologies. Many years ago a pig of lead was discovered on the flanks of Nursery Knot with the Roman inscription of ‘Trajan’ on it, although this has since been lost.
Walk: Grassington, Grass Wood, Conistone Dib and Lea Green
A walk around Grassington, Ghastrill’s Strid, Grass Wood, Conistone Dib and Lea Green in the Yorkshire Dales. The Route Start Point: Grassington, Wharfedale Finish Point: Grassington, Wharfedale Distance: 8.5 Miles GPX Route Map grassington-conistone-and-lea-greenDownload Walk Description Grassington is an attractive small town set amongst the rolling hills of Upper Wharfedale, a popular tourist destination due to its picturesque cobbled square, stone cottages and winding alleyways. From Grassington, our route follows the River Wharfe to the impressive limestone rapids of Ghastrill’s Strid (admire from a safe distance), before reaching Grass Wood. This ancient swathe of woodland once formed part of the much larger forest of Wharfedale and has many indigenous tree species and almost 400 species of flowers and plants, thus meriting Nature Reserve status. It is a truly magical place to explore in spring. Beyond Grass Wood our path traverses the dry limestone gorge of The Dib, a glacial meltwater channel, before reaching Conistone, an attractive Craven village that boasts many fine old farmhouses, a large maypole and the oldest church in the southern Dales that dates back to pre-Conquest times. St Mary's Church still has some pre-Norman arches as well as wealth of other interesting features including a poor box. In the graveyard is a sad memorial to a group of young men who were killed in a tragic pot-holing accident at Mossdale Cavern in 1967. From Conistone, a footpath leads up through the spectacular dry limestone valley of Conistone Dib, one of the ‘natural wonders’ of the Yorkshire Dales. This deep steep-sided gorge was scoured out by glacial meltwaters towards the end of the last Ice Age when the permafrost prevented the water from seeping down through the limestone bed-rock. In places, Conistone Dib closes in to little more than a narrow passage beneath towering limestone crags. This whole area boasts some wonderful limestone scenery with pavements, dry valleys, crags and outcrops all around. From Conistone Dib, the return leg of this walk crosses Lea Green and the remains of one of the largest Iron Age settlements in England. This was occupied from 200BC until 400AD, surviving throughout the Roman occupation because of its secluded situation high on the hills. Rectangular fields, hut circles and traces of roads can be clearly seen, although to the untrained eye it appears to be a very rough scattering of fields covered with lots of grassy bumps! As with many other archaeological sites, the true picture only really comes to life when viewed from the air.
