Summary

It was the start of 2019 and we decided to bring in the new year with a peaceful walk in the Yorkshire Dales. We were very lucky with the weather as it was content sunshine all day!

We parked up in stone house before Dent, just below the viaduct where the path starts. The climb is a gradual incline up Arten gill lane before turning left through a field up to the Summit of Great Knoutberry hill. It is a fairly short walk but the views do not disappoint over the western dales. Past the summit it is peaceful gradual rolling hills though moorlands. We didn’t see a single person all day. It is the perfect place to go to get away from it all, or in our case bring in the new year. On the decent is mainly road down into Dent past the railway (which we had lunch in station - a moment i will always remember) As the tarmac is smooth so it doesn’t talk too much out of your legs either so once we arrived at the bottom you follow the river back to Stone house.
