Walk Description
This is an enjoyable and challenging walk in a beautiful part of Yorkshire but beware of the weather as it can change quick – even in summer. Whilst all of our walks should be undertaken with a map and a compass – this is one of those, particularly on descent, where it is easy to take the wrong path – so make sure you’re equipped.
- Starting from the Cavendish Pavilion take the bridge to the opposite side of the river
- On the other side of the bridge ignore the first path to the left and take the second which is more of an access road
- Follow it to left, looking for a path that goes off to the right – this new path should immediately take you past a building on the left
- Stick to the leftmost path until you cross the beck
- After this you want to stick to the central path until you cross another beck
- At this point, the path splits – take the path off to the right
- The path then meets another – take the new path off to the left – this will take you up Lords Seat
- Once you’ve reached Lords Seat, take the path to the left – and this will take you to Simon’s Seat
- Be careful at this point not to take the wrong path, you’re looking to take the path that is to the South West which you can follow all the way down – grossing over How Gill and then bearing left
- As you bear left, keep moving on the central path until you meet a road
- When you meet a road, there should be a path on the opposite side – take this along the river side
- Follow the path, keeping on this side of the river
- After some time you will again meet a road – go up on to the road and then take the bridge over the river
- After crossing the river, take the footpath to the left – just after the bridge
- Stay on the path closest to the river and you will find your way back to Cavendish Pavilion
