Route Description for Ribblehead and Chapel le Dale Walk
If you enjoy taking in stunning views of the countryside while walking through easy-going terrain, then the Ribblehead and Chapel le Dale Walk will be perfect for you. Setting out from the car park, the trail will lead you to the northwest to pass underneath the historic Ribblehead Viaduct.

After crossing over Chapel Beck and passing by the historic St Leonard’s Church, follow the path to the north in order to climb gently up the hillside towards the moor.
