From the village of Addingham near Ilkley climb through a golf course to Chelker Reservoir. After a short detour to the excellent view point at Haw Pike drop down to the River Wharfe. Continue along the Wharfe to Bolton Abbey, in fact an Augustinian priory. Cross the river and return to Bolton Bridge. Here join the Dales Way and follow The River Wharfe back to Addingham.
