Hawes and Sedbusk Walk

If challenging full-day walks aren’t really your style, but you are still looking to experience a beautiful part of the Yorkshire Dales, then you should definitely check out the Hawes and Sedbusk Walk. This quick and easy adventure will lead you around several charming villages that are nestled within Wensleydale and provide lovely views of the surrounding valley landscape.

Setting out from the trailhead in the market town of Hawes, you will make your way east along Market Place to cross over Gayle Beck before turning to the north along Brunt Acres Road. From here, you will continue north across the flowing waters of the River Ure, bearing left onto a footpath to traverse the open countryside on the way to Hardraw.

After passing through this small village, you will turn to the northeast and make the steep climb up the hillside to Simonstone, before turning east along the level trail to reach the village of Sedbusk. Once you have completed this tour through the small villages, make your way to the southwest to head downhill towards the banks of the River Ure, crossing over it once more on the return leg of the walk back to the trailhead in Hawes.
