Aysgarth - Castle Bolton Circular 10/05/2025
This was the first weekend walk with the Castleford Hiking Group.
The first thing to do was a detour from the route togo from the National Park to the top falls.
The falls were low
The view from the bridge revealed just how low the falls were.
It's the best view I have ever had.... of the rocks!
Downriver from the bridge
The middle falls were crowded, so I didn't go down.
I could see that I would be looking at rock rather than water.
Lower falls gave a good rock display!
Then onwards to the castle
The only steep part of the walk was the road up to the castle.
There was a distraction - a dragon on the hill
And there were great views of the castle.
And the view over the vineyard at the front of the castle.
Then it was a walk back over fields and styles to the car park, with a brief stop at a pub in Carperby - What a choice of beer Brakespeare, Wainwright, Landlord and Black Sheep!
