My Walk Over Higher Nidderdale Featuring
Scar House Reservoir And Wharfedale
Welcome to this part of my website, featuring pictures from
one of my longest walks of the Yorkshire Dales. Although I originally started
this walk from Pateley Bridge, these pictures start from the west end of
Gouthwaite Reservoir, taking in Lofthouse and Scar House Reservoir. From Scar
House Reservoir, you leave The Nidderdale Way onto high moorland towards Great
Whernside, where you get some lovely views, looking back towards Nidderdale. The
walk over the high moorland I must warn, should only be tackled by fit
experienced walkers, as there are peat bogs and navigation of the footpaths
requires a map, compass and plenty of time. The first part of this walk ends in the
lovely Wharfedale village of Kettlewell, where I stayed at the Youth Hostel for
the night and strangely this is my second stay in 17 years at this Hostel, since
my cycling days. The walk from Kettlewell is very easy, following up the River
Wharfe, through the lovely village of Starbotton and finishing at Buckden.
