Location: Carperby-Cum-Thoresby, Yorkshire Dales, England

Discover the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales on this engaging 6km loop from Carperby-Cum-Thoresby, offering a delightful mix of paved paths and picturesque trails. With a gentle 56m ascent and mostly flat profile, it's an accessible route for runners of all levels. You'll wind through serene woodlands and open farmland, enjoying classic Dales scenery, with a special opportunity to detour to the impressive Lower Falls between checkpoints 2 and 3.

This scenic route is ideal for a relaxed training run, a leisurely jog enjoying the Yorkshire landscape, or simply getting out into nature. Be mindful of the stepping stone river crossing at checkpoint 6, which can be slippery, adding a touch of adventure to your journey. It's a wonderful way to experience the charm of the Dales, combining convenience with natural beauty.

Really enjoyed the route! Very varied and interesting, I took loads of photos. I found the stepping stones very scary and had to do them in my socks as was very scared of slipping as the water was running so fast. The short section of road near the Aysgarth phone box was a bit dicey due to a shrub that was blocking the path so I had to step out into the road, on a blind bend.
