Yorkshire Dales, Hadrow Force

Hadrow force from low level

On a fine Easter, sunny day, had a nice little trip to the Yorkshire Dales..

I think the Dales has a lot to offer and, although it was only a day trip, I did still manage to see quite a bit..

Hawes to Hadrow force is a nice short (about 20-30 min) walk, taking the Pennine way route, across some hilly fields and then up into Hadrow, through the green dragon pub (where you have to pay £2.50 – the site is privately owned and maintained!). The waterfall is, from this point, then only a few minutes walk.

Highlights from the trip are below.

A Wonderful sight seeing the bluebells looking so vivid in the evening light. 

Hackfall Woods & Studley Royal park, Yorkshire Dales

As the final days of Autumn at its most colourful best swept by, it was nice to see it in Hackfall woods in the Yorkshire Coutryside.

With an abundance of mini waterfalls and historic monuments dotted around the area, and even a mini beach by the river!, this is a glorious place, where, photographically, you are spoilt for choice...

The Wainstones Walk, Cleveland Way, North York Moors, Sept 2012

Most of these photos in this blog have been taken with an experia phone camera.

The quality in some could obviously be better, but I think, not bad for an old phone camera! on this occasion, anyway..

The walk is a relatively easy, short walk, although it is steep initially in places.…

I was really surprised by the interesting rocks scattered all over the area and the bountiful heather, which embraces the landscape aplenty.

You are spoilt for choice if you are looking for interesting compositions here!
