• Easy · 25 min each wayWain Wath Force and KeldDown the river road past Wain Wath Force and Catrake Force into Keld. The Coast to Coast runs along the far bank. Wath is an old word for a ford.
• Easy · about an hour each wayKisdon ForceThrough Keld and down the riverside path to the falls: ten metres over two drops in Kisdon Force Woods. The stones are slippery when wet, and primroses come out in spring.
• Medium · 4 to 5 hoursOver Kisdon to the Muker meadowsThe Pennine Way over the shoulder of Kisdon to Thwaite, east to Muker, then back up the river. In June the hay meadows round Muker are in flower: keep to the flagged path, single file.
• Hard · 6 to 7 hoursGreat Shunner FellDrive to Thwaite and take the Pennine Way up to 716 metres on a flagstone path. From the top you can see Swaledale, Wensleydale and Ribblesdale on a clear day.
• Drive · 15 minutesTan Hill InnNorth through West Stonesdale to the highest inn in the British Isles, 528 metres up on the moor. Guests have been snowed in there at New Year more than once.
