Pendle Way approaching Thornton-in-Craven This is very much a Lancastrian Long Distance footpath, but here it makes a very brief appearance in North Yorkshire. The way is approaching St Mary's Church, Thornton-in-Craven before swinging west towards the Rolls Royce complex in Barnoldswick.

Friendly welcoming staff really made the stay. Rooms are a bit dated and breakfast wasn’t great, and the pool changing rooms had a smell, but overall decent and we’d stay again.

We had such a lovely 2 nights stay at Badger cottage. It was quiet and private just what we were looking for. You have everything you need to like home away from home.

Pen-y-Ghent makes up one the Yorkshire 3 peaks which, if you accept the challenge have to complete all 3 peaks and 24 miles within 12 hours. Most people start with this one (the smallest of the 3 ) from the nearby village of Horton-in-Ribblesdale. I’ve completed the challenge many years ago in my youth and this time we just tackled this one on a circular 6 mile walk. We took the 3 peaks ascent route which is steep in places and involves a scramble up some rocks near the end but the views

This is beautiful Bolton Abbey in Wharfedale at the foot of the Yorkshire Dales. The now ruined abbey was founded in 1154 but dissolved by Henry VIII in 1539. Dare to cross the sixty stepping stones to cross the river but beware of the Strid with its dangerous eddies of water.

The 'Tempest Arms', Elslack, Yorkshire Many years ago, 'Mine Host' at the Tempest was the former Middlesex and England cricketer Peter Parfitt, who went on to supervise hospitality at the Headingley ground of the Leeds Football and Cricket Club - better known as a Test Match ground and home of Yorkshire Cricket Club. Parfitt was succeded as incumbent at the Tempest by the redoubtable Frenchman, Francis Pierre Boulogne, who presided for many years and established an excellent culinary reputation for the pub, which still continues, and in addition, accommodation is now available. As footnote to the serious beer drinker, Timothy Taylor's 'Landlord', (which, I am reliably informed, is Madonna's favourite beer!) is on draught here.
