The River Ribble rises in the wild heights of the Yorkshire Dales and flows for 75 miles through some of the loveliest and most varied scenery that Yorkshire and Lancashire have to offer. This idyllic countryside provides the setting for these 30 delightful circular walks. They have been selected to appeal to all tastes, and range from simple valley strolls to strenuous fell expeditions.

Hand-written and illustrated in Jack Keighley's highly distinctive style, each chapter contains:

  • Parking information
  • A meticulously detailed map
  • Concise route descriptions
  • A general description of the terrain
  • Notes on features of interest.

 

The walks are fairly uniform in length, an average of 6½ miles, making them half-day rather than full-day excursions.
