Walks

Skyreholme is a fantastic base for walkers, and there are several walks you can do directly from your doorstep.  There is a map on the kitchen wall where you can plan all your local walks or click here

Troller's Gill

Just before the entrance to Parcevall Hall you can turn left and walk along the river towards Troller's Gill, a limestone gorge. You can walk through the gorge and up out of the end, completing your walk around Middle Hill and returning to the village past the remains of the reservoir which supplied water to the mill which stood in Skyreholme.

Simon's Seat

Ascend the fell behind the village to see views of Skyreholme and beyond. On a clear day, even the windmills in Halifax are visible. It is also possible to come down via Bolton Abbey and drop in at the Cavendish Pavilion for a break and a cup of tea.

Howgill

A very short walk from the village takes you to Howgill, where you can drop in for an ice-cream or a brownie.

Grimwith

You can take a variable length walk, taking in Stump Cross Caverns, and then skirting the edge of Grimwith Reservoir, either in front of the reservoir, or if you're feeling energetic, walking all the way around. The walk back to Skyreholme is via New Road Side.

For other walks in the area, you may like to visit Dales Walks, an excellent site which has details of many walks of different lengths and difficulties, and includes a useful WeatherCheck section.

For really avid walkers it is well worth buying this book too, as it has all the information and maps you need in one place!
