We are the Leeds Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

We make our way over the fields towards Plumpton Rocks . From here we take the path which takes us to the A658 bypass which we cross and then head down through the caravan park to Grimald Bridge. We then take the path alongside the river Nidd before turning off crossing several fields to once again cross the A658 road and head towards Wingate farm. A short road walk then brings us to the footpath alongside the Crimple Beck which we follow back into Spofforth. A lunch stop will be made at the cafe alongside the river Nidd.
The walk is mainly over fields, farmland and a few wooded areas with with several stiles to cross. There is some road walking involved and we have to cross the busy Knaresbrough bypass on two occassions, it may also be possible that we may encounter some farm animals during the course of the walk. Refreshments will be at the local hostelry after the walk. ------------------- on the no 7 Leeds to Harrogate bus route get off at Low Lane Farm in Spofforth and walk a few minutes to the start point.
