Parbold and District Ramblers
A Yorkshire Walk (Three Villages)
Sunday 7th July 2024
This area of North Yorkshire is outside the usual realm of most walkers but is as pretty as any you will find in the National Park.
The walk links three villages, the starting point of Rylstone being famous because the local Women’s Institute produced the calendar which inspired the film and stage play Calendar Girls. The second village Hetton is best known for its Gastropub The Angel and the last village is a small farming community.
