Our drawing of the route, over road and path data from OpenStreetMap. It shows where the walk goes and what it goes through. It is not a survey and not a navigation aid — carry OS Explorer on the hill. Off-lead information here is what walkers reported or what signage allows — never our advice. Whether and when a dog is off the lead is the owner’s decision and legal responsibility; keep dogs under control near livestock and follow signs on the day.

Directions to the start →

Three level miles in an hour and a half from Grassington down Sedber Lane to the roaring limestone steps of Linton Falls, on to Linton's green and its packhorse bridge, and back by field paths. The going is easy and mostly surfaced or grassy, though the falls footbridge steps are slippery in wet weather; park at the National Park Centre in Grassington, where the Dales Bus from Skipton and Ilkley calls. A good short outing for a stiff old dog with almost no climbing, and the Wharfe above the falls has quiet shallows for a drink, but the falls themselves are a violent chute with no exit and the field paths carry sheep and a handful of stone stiles.

THE SMALL PRINTLeads in the grazed fields and anywhere near the falls, where the river is a fast chute with no way out. Some stone stiles on the return.
