Walking up Gunnerside Gill from Gunnerside Village
Gunnerside is a small village tucked into the northern hillside of Swaledale. It lies at the foot of Gunnerside Gill with its long industrial history of mining and good place to start a circular walk up Gunnerside Ghyll.

Evidence of the old lead-silver mining (more pictures further down the page) is all around Gunnerside Gill with 'scars', waste tips and building ruins viewed from Jingle Pot Edge on the west side of Gunnerside Beck across to Melbecks Moor. Down the valley runs Gunnerside Beck.
Ruined buildings of the once hot and busy Blakethwaite Smelt Mill from the mining operations in Gunnerside Gill on the banks of Gunnerside Beck.
More buildings from the mining operations with the landscape artist Peter M. Hicks in the foreground.
There is a good flow of water down Gunnerside Beck which would have kept the Blakethwaite Dams well filled - remains of the dam wall still exist.
After the walk you may take some refreshment at the 'Kings Head' or the Ghyllfoot Tearoom!
