This is a great 8.5 mile walk heading off from the National Parks Centre car park in Grassington, which includes a stretch of riverside walk, a bit of industrial heritage, walking through old lead mines and some great moorland views.

One of the places I had read about but never really visited as I felt without being in a helicopter there would be nothing to see was Thornborough Henges between Ripon and Masham. This unique Neolithic (new stone age) site sitting on a plateau above the River Ure consists of three massive circular henges built about 4,500 years ago over an even earlier monument.
