A Yorkshire Dales walk which must be done in the second week of May. It is quite astonishing in its beauty. The woods have endless views under coppiced hazels and age old trees of bluebells, primroses, oxlips, cowslips, white anemone, violets and orchids. A genuinely amazing sight. The walk starts from Langcliffe and also includes a visit to Stainforth Force and the hamlet of Feizor.
