Settle Loop offers ten-mile winter walk through Yorkshire Dales

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Nov, 06:49 · Archive

The Settle Loop in Yorkshire offers a ten-mile winter walk with excellent paths and spectacular limestone scenery. The route follows an extended circuit of the Pennine Bridleway and includes nearly 1,000 feet of climbing in its steepest first mile, which begins from Settle's central square and passes features including Attermire Scar, Sugar Loaf Hill and Rye Loaf Hill.

The walk passes through classic Dales landscape with dry stone walls, limestone scars and exposed rock formations. The route continues via Stockdale Lane towards Stockdale Farm, then climbs to a high point before descending towards Nappa Gate and continuing to Langscar Gate. The low winter light brings out colours and reflections on the limestone pavements and scars, and the absence of trees makes it particularly suitable for walking in winter months.
