Guided by local archaeologist Tim Laurie, we leave
Reeth towards Grinton, passing Romano-British
settlements and two linear earthworks. Then
uphill to Harkerside Moor where we see
prehistoric field systems, settlements, burial
cairns, a superb embanked stone circle and the
burnt mounds which are now interpreted as
Bronze Age sweathouses. We descend to Maiden
Castle, a defended Iron Age settlement, and
return to Reeth. Parts of this 5-6 mile walk are
strenuous, but the pace will be relaxed and most
of walk is on good footpaths. We finish at Reeth in
time for those wanting to travel the short journey
to Low Row for the 5.00pm event. No dogs, please. GUIDED WALKS
Please wear boots and bring waterproofs and a
hat, plus lunch and water for full-day walks.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome, if on a lead,
unless otherwise indicated. Remember coins
for ticket machine if starting from a car-park.
Places are limited, so book in advance.
