Overview

From the car park we head up through the village then take the Nidderdale Way footpath which we follow until we reach Scarah Bank Lane. At this point we turn down the lane before turning off and heading over the fields to reach Shaw Mills passing both High and Low Kettle Spring farms along the way. We then have a short road walk before turning off up to Hill Top farm then across several fields across the B6165 road and back into the Ripley Park estate to join the main footpath back into Ripley.A lunch stop will be made at a suitable spot along the way.
