The western section of the Alternative Coast to Coast starts in the village of Arnside and crosses the rural landscape of the Yorkshire Dales National Park to the historical market town of Richmond.
The trail features varied scenery and a selection of wonderful settlements, including Hawes, which is renowned for being the home of Wensleydale cheese. Tumbling waterfalls, impressive caves and the famous Ribblehead Viaduct all add to the intrigue along the walk, before arriving in Richmond and admiring the town’s fine Georgian architecture and imposing Norman Castle.
