Spectacular Muker To Keld Wildflower Meadows Walk, Swaledale | Yorkshire Dales National Park

MUKER MEADOWS WALK: In the north of the Yorkshire Dales National Park you will find the unspoilt beauty of Swaledale. In this video we show you a 6 mile circular route from the village of Muker to Keld , which now has to be a new contender for my favourite Yorkshire Dales walk.
Wander through colourful Muker hay meadows dotted with old stone barns. The Muker area is one of the best places to see the remarkable hay meadows, which are some of the best in the Yorkshire Dales. Several of the meadows at Muker are protected as part of the Muker meadows Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Look out for wildflowers and grasses such as Buttercups, Wood Crane’s-bill, Yellow Rattle, Pignut, and more!
The walk will also take you past several waterfalls including East Gill Force and Kisdon Force. You can also take a short detour to explore the abandoned Crackpot Hall: a 17th century abandoned farm house with far reaching views across the dramatic landscape of Swaledale.

[@Roadmap2Adventures]

This looks like a beautiful hike with stunning views. So charming! 😍

[@OurTravelPlace]

It is! Definitely one to do if you're looking for a walk in the north part of the Yorkshire Dales. Thanks for watching 🙂

[@Explorcation]

Hey guys another lovely hike, I enjoyed seeing all of the blooming wildflowers and waterfalls, sooo pretty :) It is sad to hear how many meadows have been lost :( but glad to hear there are conservation areas like this one. I was able to see the shimmering on the rocks at the last waterfall, so cool! That sheep at the end 😆😂

[@OurTravelPlace]

Haha yeah, we came across more sheep just chilling in the middle of the road on the way back too - they have no fear 😂 Yeah, figures around the decline of the meadows is pretty staggering. I read somewhere that that's the equivalent to one and a half times the size of Wales 🙁 We grow wildflowers in our garden and on shared patches on our street so we have a lot of happy bees buzzing around at the moment 😊

[@Explorcation]

@@OurTravelPlace fearless sheep? LOL I really hope the conservation efforts work for the wildflower and bees!

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Absolutely fantastic, what a stunning walk and the fields of wildflowers were amazing. Been to Gunnerside many times and passed through Muker and Keld before but never stopped but going to now, this looks a belter of a walk, so need to nice weather now to get this done before the meadows are cut down. Great watch with superb commentary, cheers Alan

[@OurTravelPlace]

Haha yes the weather is not on our side right now but hopefully there will be some dry weather before the wildflowers are cut back! We haven't done any walks around Gunnerside but would like to. Thanks for watching!

[@joelsoutlet8366]

It's spectacular and impressive walk tour . The place is serene. Thank you mate for this wonderful video footage.

[@OurTravelPlace]

Thanks for watching, it's a beautiful walk! Serene is right 😊

[@TheStrangerCouple]

Oh wow! It looks spectacular! And great that they are protecting the meadows. 👏 It would definitely be rude not to stop for ice-cream 😎 Really stunning video guys. 🖤

[@OurTravelPlace]

Can't say no to ice cream! Thanks for watching 😊

[@davidstuart4915]

Been doing this walk, with variations for 40 odd years....dreamt of restoring Crackpot Hall to live there in my youth... :)

[@OurTravelPlace]

That would be dreamy! Would love to wake up to that view every morning 😄

[@BOTG_Adventures]

Brilliant thank you, where to park for start of hike?

[@OurTravelPlace]

I cover parking at 07:45 in the video, but basically there's either a small paid car park or lay-bys at the edge of the village along the main road (b6270). Have a good walk!
