Walking Holiday in Yorkshire, England
on The Herriot Way
circular from Hawes
via Keld, Reeth, Castle Bolton, Aysgarth and Askrigg
The
Herriot Way is a 52 mile circular walking route in the Yorkshire Dales devised
by Stuart Greig and is a combination of public footpaths, ancient tracks
and quiet country lanes, making a walking route that is easy to follow.
Online
booking available!
The
walk is named after James Herriot, the fictional veterinarian from the books
and television series "All Creatures Great and Small".
On this circular Herriot Way walking holiday from Hawes
you visit beautiful valleys, high, open fells and rolling, heather-clad
moorland. You cross one of the highest points in Yorkshire, visit historic
monuments and pass through a barren industrial wilderness, laid bare through
lead mining.
The little Yorkshire town of Askrigg was used as a film location for the
James Herriot TV series "All Creatures Great and Small".
