Whernside loop from Ribblehead Viaduct — Yorkshire Dales National Park
This was a beautiful day hiking a stunning 13 kilometre loop that took in the beautiful Ribblehead Viaduct, the lovely trig pointed hill that is Whernside, and Force Gill Waterfall. All done on a sky blue day, the first one this week. About a thousand other people had the same idea, I think, but I am glad 999 of them were going in the other direction. Fair play though, the viaduct was awesome, as was the route.
The route is pretty easy to follow, go past the viaduct along the Dales High Way until the right turn up to Combe Scar on the A Pennine Way path. Hike uphill to the crest, and from there it is a short walk to the trig point. Onwards, you follow the track downhill to the north and around to the east to re-join the Dales High Way. There is a short detour to take in the beautiful Force Gill Waterall, and from here it is past the viaduct once more and you are back at the start point.
Parking: Lots at the start point; in fact, loads, but it gets terribly busy on weekends and bank holidays. Get there early on these days.
Route Description: Very well maintained trails, scenic views, and good things to see, including Ribblehead Viaduct and Force Gill Waterfall.
Route Statistics: 13.2 kilometres with 530 metres of height gain done in four hours.
