This is a circular walk starting from Hawes. We head up the Pennine Way to Dodd Fell and bask in the glorious sunshine as we partake of lunch and admire the view. Spiritually and physically restored we march down the Roman Road back to Hawes and refreshments if required.

This is a linear walk starting from Gearstones on the B6255 road. The first mile is part of the Dalesway and the remainder, which includes a Roman road, is on the Pennine Way. As we leave the coach we are already on a high level path, so with any luck we should have spectacular views all the way to Hawes.

Hawes to Hardraw then on to Sedbusk, via Simonstone Hall.
The walk starts from Hawes. Leaving the coach park (toilets) we follow the Pennine Way along the valley to charming village of Hardraw. To view the Force Falls is an option extra at £2.50. From here we make a steep but short climb (since no rush we can stop when needed) to reach Simonstone Hall and views across the valley. Then we walk through lots fields, all with gates, to reach the hamlet of Sedbusk. From Sedbusk it is all downhill across fields to the Pennine Way and Hawes.
This walk is the same as Alison and Lesley's walk of 2014, but in the opposite direction.
