Overview

This walk gives great views of Wharfedale and beyond from the summit of Buckden Pike at 2303 feet. The climb up is steady on good paths. From the Pike the path can be very boggy in poor weather but the views are worth it. We then visit the pilots memorial before descending to Starbotton. We then return to Buckden on the Dales Way by the river.
