| Time: | 2 hours 50 minutes | ||
| Weather: | Mainly sunny spells | ||
| Comments: | Marie and I have done the middle part of this walk many times but the beginning and end was new to us. It is now possible to walk from the Wyresdale Cafe car park using a woodland footpath across Tithe Barn Brook to a new Wyresdale Park car park then along a gravel footpath to the top of Snowhill Lane. The last part of the walk, from Scorton to the car park, along the Wyre Way was very overgrown. | ||
