Our final day in the dales today,saw us carrying out a very enjoyable walk taking in the River Wharfe from Grassington up to Conistone,by passing the lovely areas of Ghaistrell's Strid and Grass Wood and then onto Kilnsey Park and Kilnsey Crag.
We stopped here for a well earned brekkie,before carrying on back to Conistone,up along Consitone Dib and then across the lovely limestone scenery past Conistone Pie and along the Dales Way back to Grassington.
The scenery was lovely today,as on all our walks during our mini break,put it was particularly nice to walk through some areas we hadn't visited before.
The section between Conistone Dib and Grassington along the Dales Way was very interesting,passing through the hundreds of years old field systems and ruins of medieval settlements that stretch back as far as the Bronze Age.
A few nice birds were encountered during our walk today and included 3 Little Egret,a singing male Dipper,Common Sandpiper,3 Kingfisher,a Whimbrel which flew south near Conistone and a lovely Red Kite at Kilnsey.
