7. Farndale - Rudland Rigg Walk from Low Mill These pictures illustrate part of Route 9 "A walk to Rudland Rigg" from the book "Ten Scenic Walks around Rosedale, Farndale and Hutton-le-Hole" by J. Brian Beadle (6½ miles).
The walk starts from Low Mill (OS grid ref 673952) and after passing through the farmland of the west of Farndale you ascend close to West Gill. Horn Ridge is seen in the distance.
Now that's a mighty stone lintel beam, wasted on this derelict barn!
Looking back south down Farndale from just below the Rudland Rigg track, which you are only on for a very short distance. Horn Ridge is on the left.
Looking back south down Farndale from the track heading east for Monket House.
Looking towards Middle Head, the most northern part of Farndale.
Looking across to High Blakey Moor, just above the stone on the horizon is the Lion Inn on Blakey Ridge.
Having descended down we decided to come along by the River Dove to do the 'Daffodil Walk' but still arrive back at Low Mill.
The blackthorn and wild daffodils were quite spectacular.
A stop at the 'Daffy Caffy'!
The well laid out 'daffodil walk' path from Church House to Low Mill.
The wild daffodils of Farndale and the bluebells were beginning to show.
Goodbye Farndale until another fine day and leave the sheep and lambs undisturbed and unperturbed!
Back at Low Mill you may catch the vintage bus to Hutton-le-Hole! and Granville Smith, the very proud owner driver of 1947 Leyland saloon coach DPY 335, fitted out by the famous Plaxton Company of Scarborough.
