Swathes of purple heather carpet the moors & high fells above Upper Swaledale
‘The purple headed mountain’
‘The river running by’
There are miles of public footpaths to enjoy in Upper Swaledale. Some snake over the high tops & through the heather moors but there are plenty of easier paths to explore that are less challenging. We have maps & suggested walks at Pry House Farm B&B, Hillcrest Cottage and in the Shepherd’s Hut. The Keld Resource Centre organise several guided walks throughout the summer.
