Take time out from the hustle and bustle of life to indulge in Wensleydale and its wonderful vistas. Along this ramble through the dale, discover evidence of an industrial past and heritage railway line. We will walk onwards to the impressive Bolton Castle, the location of Mary Queen of Scots' imprisonment in 1568. Returning via the river Ure to Leyburn and socially distanced group picnic.
