Walk the Yorkshire Heritage Way, Stage 4: Thruscross to Brimham Rocks

Walking through the heart of the Nidderdale AONB this is arguably the most scenic section of the Yorkshire Heritage Way. Using Ilkley Community Transport minibuses from Burley, the walk sets out from Thruscross Reservoir, climbing High Crag Ridge before dropping to the hidden gem of Guise Cliffe Tarn. After walking along the tranquil River Nidd, the route then follows the tumbling waters of Fell Beck upstream to reach the dramatic rock sculptures of Brimham Rocks. The return minibuses aim to be back in Burley by about 4 pm. Please bring a picnic lunch and enough to drink and wear suitable footwear and clothing. There are some stiles. No dogs please.
