Muker to Keld over Kisdon

Six and a quarter miles and around three and a half hours: flagged meadow paths out of Muker, a riverside track up the Swale past Crackpot Hall and Swinner Gill, then the Pennine Way back over the flank of Kisdon Hill. Park in the village car park behind the Farmers Arms; there is no other parking in Muker and the lane in is single track. The famous hay meadows are reached through a series of very narrow stone squeeze stiles that a broad-chested Labrador or a bull breed simply will not fit through, so this is a walk for slim or liftable dogs; sheep graze the whole route, so keep dogs on the lead throughout and take care above the drops at Kisdon Force.
