Wonderful Wharfedale

The pictures below were sent to me by Colin & Joan Ainsworth and come from a walk in Wharfedale in the Yorkshire Dales. The walk started at Burnsall and followed the River Wharfe to Grassington with a return via Linton and Thorpe. The walk was recently featured in the Dalesman magazine and is about 6.5 mile in length.

Many thanks to Colin & Joan for allowing me to share their pictures.
