Wharfedale Guided Walk – Buckden Pike
Take a break from the Christmas mayhem. Join us for a guided walk in Wharfedale, visiting Buckden Pike and surrounding area. The dales in winter are a glourious location, frost and snow (there may be some!) add an extra dimension to the scenery.
With views from the top take in Wharfedale and the Yorkshire Three Peaks to the South, Wensleydale to the north and beyond; The summit of Buckden Pike is one of those places to visit. This walk is a moderate rated walk on our guided walk ratings. We would recommend that children are 10yrs and upwards.
