- Welcome back to part five of the Herriot Way in the North Yorkshire Dales National Park. Filmed July 2023.
If you haven't seen previous parts, please take a look at my channel to view those first. It will make more sense that way.
Steph and I began the day from YHA Grinton Lodge around 7.20 a.m. and we completed this section around 3.30 p.m. at Aysgarth Falls, where we began the 52-mile circular route several days before. The last section took us along winding footpaths mostly through the exposed moorlands of north Yorkshire Dales. We didn't see a soul until we reached Castle Bolton where we stopped for lunch. No big climbs in this section, but still the views and scenery were amazing.
Thank you for watching. If you haven't done so already, please do consider subscribing to my channel and, if possible, give it a big thumbs up and leave a positive comment. It does help me out.
If you have any questions about this trail, please do ask. I'm more than happy to share my knowledge and experience of the Herriot Way. It's a great trail; each section is different from the next. However, I would recommend following the plan in the guidebook, which we didn't do. Here is a link to the guidebook. It's a good resource.

Well done Rachel to you both for completing this lovely trail! I'm glad you both enjoyed it. Fab to start and end at the wonderful Aysgarth Falls too. Hope that fly hovering around your camera didn't travel back home with you! 😆👍
Thanks so much! 😊 Herriot Way was a wonderful trail. 😎
really enjoyed the herriot way Rachel you and steph loved every part off the walk Thank you .
We certainly laughed our way through this one, such a good trail ☺️
Loved this series, this one has definitely gone on my list. Thanks ladies 🙌🏻🫶🏻
This was an amazing experience. Yorkshire is amazing!
🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 Wonderful as always Rachel!
Thank you!! 😊
Nice and relaxing walk
Yes, thanks ☺️
Definitely a great hike, Rachel. I've thoroughly enjoyed it. I do love the Bothy books and the colourful comments. Those rivers were in full flood. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Chris, thanks for watching. I hope you are keeping well.
Beautiful scenery. Well done to both of you in completing the trail (and more).
Glad you enjoyed it ☺️
Brilliant mini series. You've inspired me to do this trail, going for it in a couple of week! Thank you.
You’ll love it. When you complete the stretch between Keld and Reeth, I recommend taking the high route and camping at the top of Gunnerside Gill ravine in the old mining ruins.
Very beautiful place
Yes, thank you ☺️
Awesome journey. Outstanding video.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😄
@@ramblingracheltrailtales yes 👍
What an amazing hike Rachel! Loved the nature and the history, best blend!
Hey 👋 thanks for watching and I hope your keeping well. X
Nicely put together Rachel....you make this videoing malarky look so easy.....but don't tell too many people to come up north.....we like it quiet....ha ha.
It’s taken me ages to find the time to edit this one. But got there in the end. Thanks for watching x
Hi Rachel this looked a great hike that you both did , so beautiful and that hunting lodge was really good. Loved the Castle and the pie looked great !
Hope you're well, I've not been on CZcams much in the last few months as I've had an eye infection and couldnt watch screens but nice to catch up with you all again :) ~ Anna 👍
Hi Anna, I hope the eye is feeling better now. That must have been very frustrating.
It’s taken me a while to get round to editing this one, life commitments and all that.
Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to comment. Have a good weekend and all the best x
Nah then, ay up me duck.
Yay, you uploaded it 🙂
Twas nice to see the finale and I totally agree about Yorkshire but let's keep it a secret from the crowds hey 🤫
Ay a great weekend Rachel. 👍
Ha! But those crowds are good for local businesses. Especially Bolton Castle, I couldn’t believe how quiet it was. This trail was so much fun.
What a great section, the views were great and although maybe not the best weather for 28 July. What was also great was the hunting lodge being left open and even better if is in great condition, also with an intact log book to record your visit. Not keen on seeing the cows again (I wonder if they had followed you) but great to see castle Bolton, a place I promised myself I was going to visit and walk around this yet but yet again, the summer has slipped away and I have still not done it. The beauty about the Yorkshire Dales is no matter the time of year you can always find peace and tranquilly, something I treasure. The whole of this series of walks on the Herriot Way were all very enjoyable to watch and you sold this trail really well, great filming, editing and narration, cheers Alan
Hi Alan. Thank you for following us on this adventure. I have to say, Yorkshire is remarkable, and this trail was incredible.
I know what you mean about time slipping way, just like that the summer was gone lol. X
Brilliant series Rachel im just catching up on it .. enjoy anything to do with James Herriot 👌 Glyn
Hi Glyn, thank you for watching. I believe this route was walked and created by the man himself.
Nice video Rachel. Wishing you a great weekend 👍
Thank you! You too! All the best x
Awesome 😍👍
Thank you! Cheers! 😉
@@ramblingracheltrailtales walkum 🙏🏻
Well done, looks like a brilliant adventure. Aysgarth Falls are beautiful too
Hi Craig, thanks for stopping by. It's a fab trail and would recommend it.
Been waiting for the final episode 😀 Looks like a great trip. Thanks for the videos.
Hi Richard, yes it’s taken me a bit longer to get round to it but got there in the end. Thanks for following us on this adventure. ☺️
Like 2 👍 cracking views, well done on completing the circular. Still some signs of purple heather there too. Great spot for your second brew. Nice shot of the mining works. You really did cover a lot of extra miles getting all those shots of you walking into the distance. Nice shelter, looks clean, even the toilet. Great previous comment! Cows ❤ mmm Bolton Pie, looks wonderful. Great advice on this route and a wonderful resource. Officially smashed it ❤❤
Smashed we did lol! Yeah, a fab trail. Many good memories made on this one. Can’t wait to do more walking up in Yorkshire. Thanks for watching 😎
A great finale to our adventure in the Yorkshire Dales!
I definitely did not write that little poem in the log book! 😂
This was one of this years highlights! Blooming brilliant trail and thank you for putting up with me for the whole five days! 😊
@@ramblingracheltrailtales was a pleasure! 😀
Good on ya Ladies, most enjoyable and informative. I've bought the gear and the Herriot Way pocket guide book, .... I just need some reasonable weather; & being alone and in Leicestershire, a swift kick in the rear for me to take the plunge for my first ever proper hike!
Hi, you’ll love the Herriot Way. When you reach Keld, I’d recommend the high route. The views are breathe taking. Let’s hope for better weather soon. Yes, the west he has been a mixed bag. Bring on the sunshine! 🌞
@@ramblingracheltrailtales Thank you, I’ll remember that once there. I did wonder if maybe I should break myself in with a Circular tour around the Vally first, from say Usher Gap Campsite to Thwaite, following the valley around clockwise to Angram, Keld, and then along the Swale valley following the River Swale and end at Muker for Stores before heading back to Usha Gap Site for the evening. Moving the Car next day to the Start point of the Herriot Way if all has gone well with my joints. 😂 I will be equipped for a 'Wild camp' ⛺if that proves to be too much for my first Hike. Would really welcome your thoughts on that, 🤔... I’m not looking to have my ear’s tickled, if you think that Idea is daft/rubbish please say so; as I don’t want my first attempt to put me off for life, for what little I may have left that is. 😏Thank you Rachel. PS: Don't worry if too busy to reply.
Another place where i,ve walked. Are you sure you're not following me? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I used to love the little pub at Grinton, great little place to stop and recharge. Reeth is a nice village too.
Those falls are stunning!
Ha! Grinton was nice and the YHA was positioned perfectly on the trail. I loved this section. I can’t believe we didn’t come across any other people until we reached Castle Bolton.
I've loved watching this entire journey on both your channel and Steph's. It's fascinating to see how you two film the same place or object, but from a totally different personal perspective. You ladies look like you have such a fun and funny time -- how do we get tickets for the next trip? 😁
Hi 👋 Thank you for your kind words. I loved this trail. I can’t wait to explore more of Yorkshire as time goes on. Xx
Great Video girls. Doing it this year over three days. Not decided yet when. Gunnerside Gill is one of my favorite wild camping spots though first time got bit to hell with the midges.
Hi, I love this trail so much. Each section is wonderfully different from the next. The smelt mill is a great spot for a camp. I think because it rained it kept the midges away. Thanks for watching. 👀
Hi Rachel! 🌿🌼 Your journey along the Herriot Way was absolutely picturesque. The landscapes and the castle were breathtaking, and that pie looked delicious! 🏰😋 I hope you're doing well, and it's great to see your videos again. I'm sorry to hear about your eye infection; I hope you're fully recovered now and enjoying your adventures.
The views you captured were truly amazing, especially those shots of you walking into the distance. The shelter and even the toilet seemed surprisingly clean - a rare find in the wild! 😄 The Bolton Pie must have been a delightful treat during your adventure. Thanks for sharing your route and experiences; it's a fantastic resource for anyone planning a similar trip.
Your Yorkshire Dales adventure was a great finale, and I couldn't help but chuckle at the mention of keeping the beauty of Yorkshire a secret from the crowds. 🤐 I hope you have a wonderful weekend, Rachel! 🚶♀🌲👍
Thank you watching and taking the time to leave a comment.
Nice one. Although you girls did get a little giddy about the end of trek patch🤣
I know, not sure why that was. Overly excited I think.
Hi Rachel,
Nice to see the final instalment, surprised to see it was filmed back in July, that seems ages ago. Amazed to see how much water was rushing over the falls at Aysgarth after the June droughts. Nice to see the hunting lodge left unlocked and not having been defaced or vandalised. Don’t think it would last long in Berkshire. Just watched your short vid driving along Bur Way, that looks much more recent, is there a Long Mynd adventure on its way?
Cheers
Graham
Hi, the Herriot Way was an amazing trail. Loved it.
I was in Shropshire last week, very recent. I have plenty of content recorded but struggling to find the time to edit it at the moment. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel. X
