To complete as a circular tour, it's best to start and finish in either Skyreholme or Appletreewick. There is limited parking in Skyreholme, but more parking available outside The Craven Arms in Appletreewick.
The terrain is varied, but in parts quite technical, so therefore a shoe with maximum grip, protection and stability is required. We recommended footwear like the La Sportiva Ultra Raptor Mid GTX Walking Boots - see our full review below.
