A Grassington Moor Walk

About trip

Walk from Hebden following Hebden Beck before climbing to higher ground at Bolton Haw Crags and to Grassington Moor. On the moor visit some old mine workings which includes good examples of stone built water culverts, an excellent old chimney and the remains of a building that once housed an enormous water wheel. There is also a small old reservoir to visit amid the many slag heaps and some very deep shafts, safely fenced off because anyone falling down one would never see the light of day again. After enjoying the sites cross the moor to Yarnbury then High Barn and Bare House before dropping off the moor to Grassington. From there descend to the Wharfe and two stepping stone crossings of the river before walking back to Hebden.
