Nearby
It’s all of about 100 metres from the campsite to the nearest decent footpath, which zig-zags its way up the slope beside the campsite climbing to Simon’s Seat, not especially high at 485 metres (1,591 ft) but a real landmark of the area and rewarding hikers with impressive panoramic views. As a result, it’s a popular walk and the loop from the campsite is around four miles. In the opposite direction, you can easily join the Dales Way, which runs beside the River Wharfe, following an easy route along the valley bottom to Burnsall (around an hours walk) where there’s a good pub and café. On a hot day, there are plenty of good spots along the river for swimming. By car, head south for family attractions – ruined Bolton Abbey Priory, Hesketh Farm Park (01756 710444) and the Bolton Abbey Steam Railway line (along with good tea rooms and ice cream in Bolton Abbey Village). Or head north for more popular mountain climbing routes, such as the hike over the hills to Malham Cove, Gordale Scar and Janet’s Foss.
Food & Drink
The two pubs in Appletreewick (both dog-friendly and serving food) can be reached by following the Dales Way (around 25 minutes walk), which follows the River Wharfe before you turn off and cross a field. The New Inn (01751 720252) has a selection of quirky beers, while the 16th-century Craven Arms (01756 720270) has log fires, gas lamps and stone-flagged floors. The Red Lion (01756 720204) and the Riverbank café (07711 530156) in Burnsall are more like a one-hour walk away, beside the river all the way.
