Path Along Arkle Beck

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This path, north of Reeth, stays close to Arkle Beck throughout and leads you through beautiful hay meadows and grassy slopes, with the huge and rather overwhelming (in a good way!) Fremington Edge, rising to the north-east.

Sit down, get your notepad out and start writing poems about this place!

Castle Wood

Highlight • Forest

On the north-eastern banks of Arkle Beck and at the feet of the imposing Fremington Edge escarpment, Castle Wood is a peaceful place to walk in. There are ruins of an old farm here, too, as well as an old disused kiln hiding behind ferns and nettles.

View from Cuckoo Hill

Highlight • Viewpoint

The views from Cuckoo Hill (425m) south towards both Reeth and Grinton are extraordinary: the views over Swaledale from just under Fremington Edge are so extensive that a person seems to grow somehow inside...

There is an old barn here in the field that somehow makes the view from up here practically postcard-like. Definitely worth taking a break here to take it all in.
