Conistone Pie Conistone Skipton added to Iconic Landscapes and Ancient Sites in Yorkshire and the Humber by D0c.Col on 30/11/2022

Parking can be an issue but most use the east side of Conistone Bridge. It's an easy short walk for the able young an old alike with a tiny scramble to keep the kids amused. You'll love the narrow limestone gorge, named Gurling Trough, just above Conistone village, which is an enclosed passage that is no wider than a footpath in some sections; You'll also enjoy the amazing views on and around the Limestone feature called Conistone Pie.

The Walk begins from the Conistone Bridge and heads up eastwards past cottages, through a gate and along a path towards the gorge which is the direct access to the Conistone Dib. There is a short scramble at the head of the Dib that leads onto the Conistone Turf Road towards the Capplestone Gate trig point. Once past the trig point you eventually turn back SSE onto the Dales Way (not Dale way as the video states!) and towards Conistone Pie, which is a prominent Limestone Outcrop that just has to be climbed. The pathway continues on the other side of the wall that runs past the eastern side of Conistone Pie and on towards Conistone Village via Scot Gate Lane.

The Walk was about 11.8K and took 4hrs 45mins, but we did stop a few times to take the drone footage as well as soaking up the amazing views over the moors and the Wharfedale Valley: Of course it also includes the time to consume the obligatory cheese and onion sardies and crisps at the half way point.

We finished the walk with a short video of Conistone Village with the River Wharfe winding its way through the valley. The walk is easy and ascent gradual but it can get a bit muddy in places after periods of bad weather. Nevertheless an awesome morning, or afternoon, can be had breathing in fresh air and getting away from the crowds!

Kilnsey Crag, Craven (By Scaleber)

Bit of a paraphrase from Wikipedia - The village of Kilnsey is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Chilsie when it was described as waste. The most notable feature of Kilnsey is a large limestone cliff called Kilnsey Crag, overlooking the road and the River Wharfe from the west. The crag is around 170 feet high, with an overhang of 40 feet. It was painted by J. M. W. Turner in 1816. The crag contains several of Britain's most extreme sport climbing routes, such as Northern Lights 9a (5.14d), and North Star 9a (5.14d), by Steve McClure.

Just one more amazing feature of the Dales.

Cove, Argyll, Garelochhead (By Scaleber)

Cove is a beautiful place with an interesting history. In common with many villages in the area, Cove provided summer lodgings for the families of wealthy Glasgow merchants, shipowners and businesspeople in the 19th century. Many of the houses therefore are amazing. But it is Loch Long which makes it spectacular.

Doune Castle, Scotland, Carse of Stirling (By Scaleber)

Walgrave Moated Site, Daventry (By Scaleber)

Extract from Historic England - "The moated site at Walgrave lies to the north of Walgrave village and forms part of the present village recreation ground. The site is considered to be the location of the manor house and of a small associated fish pond. The moated area is square and is almost completely surrounded by a flat bottomed ditch up to 3m deep and 10m wide. The moat system was supplied by the small stream which runs to the east of the site and the east ditch of the moat is still waterlogged. This stream also supplies water to the small pond which lies to the north of the moat and a water channel links the moat ditches and the pond. To the west and south of the moated site are the earthwork remains of further water channels which formed part of the water management system on the site. The moat island is about 35m square and is reached by a narrow causeway which crosses the west ditch. On the south side of the moat island a raised rectangular building platform indicates the site of a former building."

Walgrave is a lovely village as well.

Secret Beach at Hilton of Delnies, Nairn Rural (By cduncan)

Big wide beach extending about 5 miles to Whiteness Point with views across the Moray Firth. Accessed down a farm road off the B902. There is parking for a few cars at the end of the track. The area is covered by an SSSI. This relates mainly to risks of erosion and invasive species, as well as two non-breeding birds.
This can be a busy spot in summer months but there is plenty of space on the beach and in the lagoon area behind to avoid people.
