Lady Anne's Way Overview
This self-guided walking holiday is along Lady Anne's Way, a 100 mile trail leading from Skipton in North Yorkshire to Penrith in Cumbria. The walk was devised to follow some of the routes Lady Anne Clifford took while travelling between her castles, and also to walk through the beautiful scenery of the Yorkshire Dales and Eden Valley. The route is one of great beauty, outstanding scenery and historical interest.
Starting from the magnificent Skipton Castle, the route heads to the River Wharfe and onto Grassington. From here the trail continues along Wharfedale before crossing the moor to Hawes in Wensleydale. Along the ‘High Way’ and into Mallerstang you pass the ruins of Pendragon Castle on route to Kirkby Stephen in the Eden Valley. From Kirkby Stephen you follow the direction of the River Eden to first the ruins of Brough Castle, and then north east to Appleby Castle. The route then continues to the extensive ruins of Brougham Castle, and the end of the trail in Penrith.
