An easy circular walk from Grinton with lots of interest. The moors above Grinton have the remains of the lead mining industry and on this walk, you will see those remains plus a well preserved smelting mill and its flue which runs up the hillside. The area is now a grouse moor and you will pass shooting butts and feeding stations for the birds. Great refreshments in Grinton and also over the bridge in Fremington at the Dales Bike Centre.

This route is mostly on public Bridleways and moorland access tracks with a rough gravel surface with drainage channels crossing them. #WalkingWithWheels.

There's a pay car park in Burnsall (£6.30 for 6 hours) or you may find free parking on the street. This is a beautiful walk taking you on a path beside the river Wharfe, over the suspension bridge and up to Hebden (picnic table en route, tea room and pub in Hebden). Leave Hebden and head up High Lane which takes you in to Grassington (location for the new series of All Creatures Great and Small). You then head down to the Wharfe and make your way to Linton Falls passing Little Emily's Bridge as you carry on up the road to the crossroads. Go straight on along Lauradale Lane and down into the pretty village of Linton (pub). Leave the village green and head out across open fields to join Thorpe Lane. Follow the lane into Thorpe and take the road to the left and follow the lane to the end and turn right and head downhill and make your way back to Burnsall crossing at least 8 stiles over dry stone walls. A welcoming pint then awaits you at the Red Lion in Burnsall.

A walk of two halves. The first part ascends gently on good tracks, passing the remains of the Old Gang Smelting Mill, before crossing the stream and crossing Melbecks Moor and passing the spoil heaps from the long ceased lead mining industry. The path descends via one of the 'hushes' to the Bunton Level above Gunnerside Gill. The return leg is on grassy paths which contour Brownsey Moor and pass through farmland, often following dry stone walls and passing working farms and traditional barns.
