Starting from Low Mill in Farndale we walk up West Gill to West Gill Head on Rudland Rigg. Following Moorland tracks across Rudland Rigg we descend into the very attractive and little visited valley of Bransdale . Following paths across farmland, we will have lunch at Bransdale Mill, a mill long disused.
After lunch there soon follows a steep climb back up to Rudland Rigg, and then a steep descent to Monket House and down to High Mill and alongside the River Dove through Farndale (not a daffodil in sight) and back to Low Mill.
This walk is graded strenuous due to the steep ascents and descents and there are some rough moorland tracks to navigate.
