On leaving the coach we pass through the main square in Settle and climb out of town on the Pennine Journey path in a north easterly direction. We descend towards the village of Longcliffe which we skirt and head north easterly again until we reach the Catrigg Force waterfall where we can climb down carefully for a better view and photos. We can have a short coffee break here. Onwards now in a northwesterly direction and weave our way through Stainforth where we cross the main road, the railway and the upper echelons of the River Ribble which is a good place to have lunch near Little Stainforth. We then go west into Feizor on the Dales High Way path where we pick up the Pennine Journey trail again back southwesterly towards Stackhouse. We then take a riverside route back to the coach and nearby pub Terry

C Richard D FR “c” Group. Settle 1 March 2026 10.6 Km 184m Total ascent Toilets available in Coach Park. Start in the famous 3 Peaks Bike Shop & Café, a feature also of the Coast to Coast bike ride. Almost all the ascent is in the first 300m of this walk, but it is on a good path. Most of the route is almost flat, along the banks of the Ribble. There are 7 stiles ( step thru – not leg-over ) and 1 easy flight of steps. No cows. All reasonable paths and easy underfoot. Ground was frozen on the reccie but no evidence of problem mud. Main POI is the wondrous Hoffman Lime kiln, through which we will pass. Other Lime kilns are available. Lunch is planned for the Stainforth Force water fall. Afternoon is all along the river bank.
