Time: 3h30
Walk details: Community Rail Lancashire (PDF).
Settle to Hellifield
Recommended: The views are great - especially from the top of the hill. Climbs steadily out of Settle, the first kilometres uphill and quite steep but on tarmac and good tracks, then becomes a wide track over open moorland before descending towards Long Preston, finishing across lanes and fields. A few gates, no stiles and a lot of it is on old tarmacked tracks. Long Preston, about two thirds of the way, has pubs and a station, so the walk can be split there.
Lunch: A couple of pubs at Long Preston, roughly two thirds of the way.
