Addingham Village Walk | The Yorkshire Dales National Park

If you enjoy this relaxing walk, please leave a comment..always interested in what you think of these walks and tours! Take a walk around Addingham village, in the Yorkshire Dale's. Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, it is located in the valley of the River Wharfe and is only 1 mile (2 km) from the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The area around Addingham is thought to have been populated from at least Bronze Age times, indicated by the 'cup and ring' carved stones that can be found on Addingham Moor. Its beginnings may date back to the late Mesolithic period, as evidenced by the scattered remains of early flint tools across Rombald's Moor to the south. The earliest of the existing houses were built in the 17th century when the village was a farming community, but the real growth began in the late 18th century and early 19th century when the textile industry arrived and five working mills, plus other loomshops and weaving sheds, were established, and the village developed into a busy industrial community. The village grew up around three centres; Church Street in the east; The Green, about a mile away in the west; and the Old School in between. This is thought to be one of the reasons the village used to be known as "Long Addingham". There is evidence of civilisation around Addingham as far back as the late Mesolithic, Neolithic and early Bronze Ages, as indicated by the remains of early man in the form of flint tools on Rombald's Moor, which may date back to around 11,000 BC. The first 'fixed' artefacts are the 'cup and ring' marked stones, several of which can be found on top of Addingham Moor and Ilkley Moor to the east, which are thought to date back to the late Neolithic or early Bronze Age, around 1800 BC.The first evidence of settlements come from the Iron Age - evidence of major tree clearance dating back to 700 BC has been found, as well as quern-stones on Addingham Moorside, which were shaped like small straw beehives and have hence been named 'beehive querns'. While a settlement on the Moorside has never been found, remains of an Iron Age settlement have been found on Addingham Low Moor, today known as Round Dikes. It has been suggested that Round Dikes, along with similar nearby sites Woofa Bank and Nesfield Scar, were summer encampments of the Romans. Little evidence truly remains of the 350 years of Roman occupation, save for the Roman road towards Skipton (now Moor Lane) which, up until the 1800s, was still the primary route between the two settlements. It is thought that the Craven area, including what now constitutes Addingham, was settled by Anglo-Saxons around 612 AD following the defeat of the local Celtic tribe. Addingham is considered to be one of the earlier Anglo-Saxon settlements because of the ending - inghaem.It is likely that the village was an early Christian centre: Ecgfrith of Northumbria presented the lands in this area to St. Wilfrid in 678 AD, while a letter describing events taking place in 867 AD describes Archishop Wulfhere of York residing in Addingham during the conflict between the Angles and Danes, which suggests there was already a church and a hall in the village - most likely at the site of St Peter's Church - in the 9th century AD.

Ah, Addingham - I used to regularly play at an open mic in The Swan, years ago. I had my harp repaired by a famous guitar maker who lived in the village.

Stunning scenery on a beautiful day. Are you travelling around England doing these walks. I’m very envious here in NZ 🤔😮

[@relaxingwalks_uk]

Alot of my walks are local to where i live! I am glad you are enjoying them, and i have some treats lined up for the next few weeks, however, alot depends on our English weather, i would prefer to get the blue skies, which be rare at times 😆

[@maxineblick2002]

@@relaxingwalks_uk you have had a lovely Summer by the look of your heat wave . Autumn is usually very settled and hot. Probably over there as well.

[@relaxingwalks_uk]

@@maxineblick2002 yes, definitely, and we are currently having a hot spell, so have planned to go out tomorrow morning for a film! Would love to visit NZ, I did alot of travelling around Aus and Tasmania, and never made it to NZ.. looks absolutely beautiful over there!

[@maxineblick2002]

Parts of NZ is lovely , but expensive ! We don’t have the history , beautiful old buildings and canals like England. Thank Goodness for you tube, I call it poor persons travel. 😊 Busy watching your invasion at the moment 🤔

[@relaxingwalks_uk]

@@maxineblick2002 really glad your enjoying my videos.. it's only early days for this channel yet..have so many locations I plan to film.. yes, I found Aus quite expensive.. once of a time, it was a good rate for Brits to travel over there.. the prices are slowly increasing here in the UK!
