Walk starting and finishing at one of the nicest railway stations I know
A short walk through town until crossing the river.
Then, following the Ribble Way
I always prefer river walks in Summer when the sun is out and leaves are on the trees. So I decided to take a different path, going up the side of the valley. This was a little longer but gave great views of the traditional stone wall landscape on the other side of the valley.
And as it is spring, plenty of lambs to see.
Came down at Stainforth Bridge and Falls, a great place to sit and enjoy the moment.
Then followed the Pennine Bridle Way up to Catrigg Force. This was after around 30 minutes of constant uphill. But it was worth stopping and turning round to see how the view changed.
Being cautious, I didn’t scramble for a closer look at Catrigg, but it was still a fine waterfall.
Then missed a marker and ended up following the road rather than the bridleway, both were similar distances and still got great views.
Had the chance to get up close to crags on the walk back down to Settle.
And the old quarry doesn't look out of place.
And unfortunately, I had missed my train, so I had to kill an hour in the Golden Lion.
