Walk of the Month: Horton to Settle

We like to help you explore the area whilst you’re staying with us. For those of you that can get out on foot, we hope our monthly walks help give you a little inspiration whether you visit us weekly, monthly or just once a year.

For the month of August, we suggest a linear walk from Horton in Ribblesdale to Settle. The route follows part of the ‘Ribble Way’, which is a long distance trail following the curves of the river Ribble.

Where to wander this month: Horton to Settle

The details: 

Distance:  6.8 miles ( 10.9km) linear

Approx. Time: a minimum of 3.5 hours

Terrain: Relatively easy walking on variable terrain.

Important info:  Please take care on roads and access tracks. It is likely that livestock, including cattle, will be encountered along this route. Remember to follow the countryside code and to prepare for all weather conditions. The route follows sections by and crossing the river and railway, so please take extra care in these areas.

The route: The route starts from Horton in Ribblesdale and is a linear walk to Settle, we would therefore suggest parking in Settle, and taking the train to Horton to begin the walk. There are toilets and refreshments available in both Horton and Settle, and in Stainforth during the walk.

Grab your walking boots and view the route here.

Walk maps for this walk and many others can be found in our park reception and you can view all of our other walk recommendations here.
