From the village of Gayle (or start in Hawes) climb gradually through fields of sheep to meet Shaws Lane. The lane lies on the flanks of Wether Hill and is high enough to provide excellent views down Upper Wensleydale. In a short distance the lane drops in to the lovely village of Burtersett. Take some time to explore the village before returning along a lower footpath and joining the quiet road back to Gayle.
