Overview

From Dacre Bank we make our way over to Summerbridge, we then have a short uphill climb before turning off to follow the footpath over to Highfield farm and then Springhouse farm. At this point we turn off and drop down through the fields and head down to the river Nidd in the valley below, a short walk alongside the river then brings us into the village of Darley were will stop for a lunch break. After the break we continue on beside the river before turning off and heading up to the village of Dacre then across several fields and back into Dacre Bank
