Overview

A popular walk with plenty of interest! We will have views of Harewood Hall across the estate as well as glimpses of the Emmerdale set (and maybe a "star"?) before reaching Eccup and its' reservoir. Then circling the Harewood Estate, hopefully seeing the deer and definitely the Red Kites and good views along lower Wharfedale. As parking at Muddy Boots Cafe can be difficult, we will visit en route (about 1.5 miles from the end). Those not wishing to stop will be directed onto the straightforward path back to the cars. An undulating walk on mainly good tracks/estate roads with no big climbs.
