Calver Hill from Grinton (circular)
Calver Hill is one of the better known hills in Swaledale and because of this has some well-trodden paths. There are a couple of routes to choose from so we decided to take the riverside walk from the Bridge Inn in Grinton.
Fremington Edge
We’ve been waiting to hike up Fremington Edge in Swaledale for a long while now. This was the first weekend we have all been free to do so, so despite the threat of heavy fog we went for it.
We met at Reeth and parked on the village green. Parking at Reeth is very cheap at only £1 for the full day! We were lucky and found a parking spot easily, but on a busy day (especially in the summer) it does get very busy.
Leyburn circular via Leyburn Shawl, Preston-under-Scar and Wensley
The walk begins and ends in Leyburn where there is plenty of parking available on the market square or the nearby car park. Once parked head towards Campbell’s supermarket at the top of the high street.
As you approach Campbell’s you shall notice that there is a narrow, access only street which leads you to the start of the Leyburn Shawl. Follow the Leyburn Shawl through the woodland path of the plantation. As you approach Warren Woods you shall come to a fork in the path, take the upper path to the right.
