I had an incredible hike in the Yorkshire Dales, doing the Whernside Circular on a beautifully clear day. The journey started with a walk past the iconic Ribblehead Viaduct, an awe-inspiring sight against the backdrop of the dales. As I made my way up Whernside, I passed by the historic Blea Moor Signal Box, which added a touch of railway history to the hike.
Continuing the ascent, I came across the stunning Force Gill Waterfall. I couldn't resist stopping for a few pictures; the waterfall was absolutely breathtaking. After a short break, I set off again, tackling more inclines. It was pleasantly quiet, likely because it was midweek.
Nearing the top of Whernside, I spotted a small, serene lake. Though it looked inviting, I decided to carry on up to the trig point. At the summit, I found two little seating areas with sides to provide some cover from the wind. I took the opportunity to enjoy a quick snack and drink while soaking in the panoramic views.
The descent was steep in places, but the path was well-maintained with plenty of rocks and slabs, making it manageable. Once at the bottom, I passed by a bit of a farm and continued down Philpin Lane. Just before reaching the main road, I walked past the charming Philpin Farm Campsite and its convenient little shop for supplies.
Finally, I emerged onto the main road, B6255, where I had parked my car in a layby just up from the Old Hill Inn. This hike was a perfect blend of natural beauty, historical landmarks, and peaceful solitude. For those interested, I've added locations in the images on the video so you can easily find them. route link & what 3 words for parking
