Route Location

Malham (Skipton to Settle)

Starting in the market town of Skipton, follow winding moorland roads up into the limestone scenery climaxing in Malham, with its cove and tarn. Then, after viewing Pen-y-ghent, descend into Ribblesdale and finish in Settle. Nearly all the answers to the questions will be found by parking your car in the villages & towns shown on the map and taking a short stroll. In between, enjoy the scenery. The driver will need to concentrate on the road ahead, as this is often single-track with passing places.  Market day in Settle is Tuesday.
