Ingleton to Devil's Bridge 12th Sept 2008 |
|
|
On Friday 12th September, our group
of walkers set off from Lancaster by bus, which took a circuitous
route to Ingleton. After crossing over the rivers in Ingleton. we
walked up the fields up to Thornton Hall and then on paths above the
valley, passing a succession of farms - with plenty of rather high
slippery stiles. It was a slightly damp day with mist and plenty of
wet grass, which made it surprising that at lunchtime, we
were watching a tractor turning over the hay even in these damp
conditions. After passing above Masongill Hall with its connections
with Mary Doyle (the mother of the creator of Sherlock Holmes), we
followed an old bridleway just below the moorland to pass Over Hall
and wander down into Ireby village. Our route then took us up a
steep bank where we sat for a break with a view down to the stream.
Leck was the next village on our way, followed by a riverside walk
to Cowan Bridge, where the water was really gushing fast from under
the bridge. We then crossed field paths to Whoop Hall and then made
our way down the fields to Devil's Bridge, where we had a snack
before catching the bus back from Kirkby Lonsdale.
