Overview

You are welcome to join York Ramblers for their 2025 Coach Ramble. Whether you decide to go on one of three linear walks of different lengths and levels of difficulty that are on offer or spend the day exploring Kettlewell at leisure, it promises to be a wonderful day out.

This, the C walk, will begin in Grassington and follow the Dales Way to finish in Kettlewell.

After alighting from the Coach we begin with morning coffee in Grassington and a stroll through the Town centre up to Bank Lane.  We begin following the Dales Way past the site of a Medieval village and field systems to reach the top of Coniston Dib.  The route then takes past Swineber Scar to join Highgate Lane (Track) and along a short section of minor road.  The Dales Way then leaves the road to crosses fields to reach Kettlewell.
