Start at the junction by the Town Hall. Face Chapel street and walk down it, passing Grove House Gallery on your right.

Miss Intake Lane, and pass the Methodist Chapel on your right. At Bank Lane follow the wood signpost uphill for a short distance before turning left into a walled lane. Continue on.

At this (See Pic.) Walk forward and take the double metal gate in front of you then walk up the walled gree lane.

Enjoy the wonderful views all around.
A pair of double metal gates confront you, exit one and use the next directly in front of you (See Pic.) Don't go left or right here.

Eventually ahead of you is a green lane junction. Take the lower one off to the left, and acknowledge the fingerpost over on your extreme left, taking its right direction fin as yours.
You will be returning through that gap later so keep it in mind.
At this point walk away from it heading 350' North.

Keep the trees in sight over on your left hand side.
The landscape here is quite diverse, you should find yourself completely alone and at one with nature.

At a green lane junction go left, and at a smaller junction take the thinner path left, keeping a dry stone wall in sight over on the left.

There is a rugged stony/grassy pathway with lots of clints and grikes over on the left, and eventually ahead of you, a very interesting scree landscape. (See Pic. and hover over with mouse)

Finally here, over on the left, (See Pic.) a pathetic excuse for a four bar double metal gate, and this four stepped wood ladder stile.

Go over the ladder stile and turn right, taking the left fork in the path, not long after.

You will see this stone squeeze gate, (See Pic.) slink through this and head downhill. Yes. It may be less than 45 degrees, it may be incredibly steep, it may be tiring... just get down to the bottom there safe and sound please, and stop moaning.

You have to reach the gully and this is the only way.

Look up and you will notice a pathway left - once you reach the other side take it.

Now on your right, not far away is this gateway, (See Pic.)

Take it and immediately turn left following the pathway enjoying the views all around.

Continue along this pathway and enjoy the views.
Unless of course, it's raining or snowing.

Short wood posts (See Pic.) with a yellow arrow on a green background let you know both the direction you need to head, and whether or not you are colour challenged?

Now just keep yourself on the Green Lane.

You go through various gates...this is one of them...
(See Pic.)

At two points, you will open gates that belong to a literate farmer.
It is here you can see the spectacular Kilnsey Crag directly in front of you. (See Pic.)

Photo Opportunity!

The pathway winds downhill and eventually you meet this gate at Conistone Village. (See Pic.)

Go through the gate and turn left then right, and find the maypole.
Centre of the village.

This, or the seat in the next cell, are the best places for partaking of Tiffen.

Just sit down and take in the quiescence of the area, and watch out for the local partridge.

Conistone Centre. (See Pic.)

From The triangle and maypole, turn sharp right and go up this road, (See Pic.) and take the gravel road on the right.

There is another seat here over on the right.

Go through the double metal gate, and follow the path signposted FP Conistone Dib.

Here (See Pic.) is the entrance, and the steps to the start of the Dib.

Another Photo Opportunity!

Out of the Dib, go through a wood kissing gate.
Pass a small metal gate on your right hanging off the space in the wall.

Pass a radio mast high on your left.
Keep an eye open for the double gate on your right see next cell.

Walk on.

Here at this gate, (See Pic.) you have a choice.
Turn right and use this gate for an easy option.

Or move forward and over on the left is another gate.

For a more dramatic walk experience, (broken limbs/helicopter flights/hospital admissions/time off work etc.) Take this swing kissing gate instead. (See Pic.)

Walk forward and then keep the wall on your left.

The path is mainly scree and rock and extremely difficult to navigate.

Heave your weight up this difficult incline and head for the space between the two trees. (See Pic.)

The road is long. With many a winding turn.That leads us to who knows where...Who knows where
But I'm strong. Strong enough to carry him.
He ain't heavy, he's my rucksack.

No regrets?
I had a few.

Anyway ...Good Luck.

This is the most incongruous gate on any walk.
Although it does stop the odd mountain goat, or Yeti passing through onto the tundra.

Go through it (See Pic.) and scramble up further making sure you concentrate every faculty and sinew to get you to the top without scragging your knees or breaking your back.

Well done you only have a few miles left and all on the Dales Way!

At the top of this clamber, over on your right, is this single wood swing gate. (See Pic.)

As you pass through, go directly forward, following the line of rocks seen in the picture, and meet the path which is the Dales Way.

Both routes end at this picture (See Pic.)

Both paths will kettle you to this four stepped stone stile.

Go over this, and continue along the path.

This is the Dales Way.

As long as you keep to the obvious pathway you will end up heading slowly downhill and into Grassington. Go through a series of stone stepped stiles, a three stepped stone stile then this gate onto a green highway. (See Pic.)

At a wall with a dedication plaque, go over the gated stile and follow the yellow Dales Way arrow which points distinctly left.

This is the squeeze gate we saw at cell 2. (See Pic.)

Take it and continue along the Dales Way.
(or find the original path you used,
and walk your return route,
the same way back in.)

I recommend that you hug the wall and track left, as this gives a more level traverse of the undulating terrain.

One of the last squeeze stiles. (See Pic.)

Take it, then another like it, and you should now see Grassington down below. Keep to the high ground and head to the next hurdle.There are several ways down, just follow any path downover and the signposts to Grassington/Dales Way.

Look for the large farm buildings, head towards them.
Do not enter the farm. Take the public rights of way around it.

Cross here go through the gate and turn right.

This takes you to Bank Lane then Chapel Street and the starting point.
